• 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.

New Side panels

Replacement of 4 panels

BRP added some additional parts listings for the ST last night so this morning I spent an hour going through these listings and came up with the following information.

To add the 2014 ST panels to a 2013 ST you will need a total of four (4) panels.

Evidently the BRP rep I spoke with was not too familiar with his own product. Or least not as well informed as us SpyderLovers.

I have attached a picture of the part numbers I gleaned from the BRP listings. The different part numbers are highlighted in Circuit Yellow Metallic, since that is the only color in which I am interested.

The replacement of 4 panels is going to be pretty darned costly for us 2013 ST owners!!!! :banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead:
 
:dontknow: I'm not sure if we know if it's the same color Silver or not yet... :dontknow:

Bob I think you are right. In 13 it's called magnesium and in 14 platinum silver. Why they had to change that is beyond me. I told Steve at BRP that they should give us 13 owners a break on the price or better yet free. He didn't ignore me, he wrote back and said he would keep me posted on future developments.

Well; at least hope still remains! :2thumbs:

i had to go to a outside vender because BRP is not selling the paints for the 2013's their answer was check back in a few months
 
A road gator hit our ST-S the other day when we were coming home from a weekend trip and I did not realize all the damage that was done till I was cleaning the Spyder the other day. Needless to say, but I will anyway, I needed to replace several pieces of tupperware so while I was on the parts site I checked for the new ST panels being in stock. Lo and behold they were so I ordered all the pieces I needed for putting the 2014 ST-s panels on my 2013 ST-S.

One thing I did notice was that the new panels are listed as Circuit Yellow and not the Metallic Circuit Yellow as I thought they would be. Not sure what that means, just an observation.

And yes they are a little bit on the expensive side.

Will post some pictures when the pieces get here in 5 to 10 business days.

Definitely waiting on your input!

Congratulations Carl! I'll be waiting for the outcome of this mod. :yes:

Thanks for sharing. If this mod will resolve the inherent overheating issue with the current ST, I still think
the inflated prices is still worth it! Will you be doing the mods yourself?

Good luck. We all are looking forward to your report and pictures. :thumbup:
Guess I will have to give up my side air deflectors to put these new tupperware. :opps:
 
I did not see on the 14 RT Limited the color Pearl White or any other color called White.

This is all about the ST and has nothing to do with the RT as the 2014 RT has a new motor and new under-tupperware layout.

In the ST line there is a white for the ST-S and those panels will fit the other models. Only difference in the Limited is some accompaniments like GPS, radio, Givi bags and some other pieces parts.

Snoopy and Benggolf, I will be doing all the work myself so it will not take but half a day when I get the parts in hand.

From my original post about only needing two 2014 ST panels and then thinking I needed four 2014 ST panels it will be interesting to see what is actually needed. When I looked at the parts drawings last night I was again thinking I only needed two because of the way the parts are designed and I may still be correct. But again, with actual parts in hand I will know better.

Stay tuned. I expect the parts to ship early in the week like maybe Tuesday. I have had excellent results with shipping from BRP so we shall see.
