There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

You can start by adding a vent to the windshield. Like this one; https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00GUJAUU...olid=2PB8597VJNH9Y&psc=0&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it
Some folks have had their windshield shortened, or they buy a shorter one.

I removed the two side shields that are just under the mirrors. It allows for more air flow to me and into the vents going into the engine area. I also have a shorter windshield.

BRP's adjustable lower air vents... :thumbup:
I have not installed one, but there are plenty of folks here that have.

Baker Air Wings plus the BRP adjustable deflectors plus the windshield vent are about as much as you can do. If you have an after market wide windshield go back to factory wide. I have the F4 wide and tall and it does cut back on air flow on me. The three items above help a lot but I've considered having my windshield cut back to OEM width.

Baker Air Wings with the BRP adjustable wind deflectors is a definite must have. Is your wife riding with the windshield all the way up? If so have her try it in a lower position, ideally with the top of the windshield even with her nose.

Baker Air Wings
I had them installed and they are well worth the cost. Use for cooling in hot weather, help keep warm in cool weather and help keep dry in light rain.

The windshield vent does a lot more to reduce buffeting; than it does to increase airflow...
But it's still going to help! :thumbup:

BRP scoops
I have a 2014 RTS and have added the BRP air scoops. These are the ones under the mirror. It has taken away all the heat from the glove box and the foot area. They are black in color don't look bad. Hope this helps.:yes::yes:

:agree: These are available on ebay for $140.00, so about $40 less than what the dealer wants for them. Take out the two screws on the factory deflector and install the new one with the same two screws. You will not believe the difference in the amount of air you can direct onto the rider and passenger.

Stay cool for sure......
Get your lovely partner a cooling vest. Mine works very well. I have the kind I fill with about 16/20 oz. of water, however I don't get wet. It will last 2/4 hours depending. Love it, love it, love it! I got it from Silver Eagle Outfitters.

Those are great in dry climates but don’t work so well in humid places like TN.
Come to south Texas, nothing helps....my buddy wears a cooling jacket with frozen pouches and he likes it. I may get one too.
