• 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.

Right side heat

Lamont,

I took your idea and simplified it a bit. I have the aftermarket grill covers for the right side, I took a rubber floor mat (already black) and cut it to shape so it fit just inside the grill. Popped a couple holes in the top of the cut-out, tie wraped it secure... BAM !

It's been above 90 degrees here this week (99 yesterday) and it seems to Work great.... as long a the fan kicks comes in :2thumbs:

Lamont, after I lost one $350 side panel I needed to find a way to not be losing another. I just took a piece of ceiling tile hanger wire about a foot long and wired it to the frame and the other end to the inside of the chrome CanAm emblem. This way if it does ever fall off, it won't hit the ground.Works well after 5k miles for me.

Picked up my RT from being serviced yesterday, and headed home on I75. but when I got here, the left side panel was missing! The grommets are all still glued in place, and yes, I had added Velcro at the top but none of this saved it. Sadly, I have previously advised several people to always check the panels after any service by others, but I didnt do it and now will have to pay the price.
You can bet I am going to put tie-down wires on both sides now!
 
I ordered one from Spyderpops and will be installing this evening!! Thanks Harvey! :2thumbs:

Eliminate the hot foot issues with your RT.
If you want to rest your foot on your new highway
pegs and find it very uncomfortable due to the heat
coming from the radiator the solution is here. We
installed dozens of the block off plates at Spyderfest
with great results. This is the idea that Lamonster wrote up
not long ago on the forum.

Contact Dave01 about the new hardware in place on the Limited Editions.:doorag:
 
Just installed the pops version of your heat deflector Lamont... does seem to work great and I don't see any real temp increase... And it is 100 deg. here... thanks for taking the bull by the horns!... or in this case the cookie sheet!:ohyea:
 
I just received Spyderpops Radiator block off plate and will try to install it. I am NOT much of a wrench. Do I see where some used Velcro to install the plate vs. drilling a hole in the panel?

No, the verlcro is to keep your side panel in place. Read the directions :lecturef_smilie:

I had Spyderpops install the black polycarbonate panel on my new RT at Spyderfest. Because I got them before I really had a chance to ride, I have never experienced any problem with heat. All the heat seems to go down and out where the splash pan used to be and what does come thru seems to be deflected down by my FloorBoards. Do want to get a cover grill for it but not sure where to get it.

Ride in comfort,

I got one of the block off plates for my 2010 RT at Spyderfest. I still notice heat on my right foot but not as much. I was hoping NOT to have to wear my boots in the summer but with so much heat coming out I guess I will have to, to protect my foot. RATS!!!
 
I had Spyderpops do that with the "heat shield "thing. problem I have now is that the heat now shoots out hits the black flange and heads back to my feet ON THE PEG by the brake. HOT FOOT and leg. Soo Kevin at Cowtown put a little aluminum "shield " attached to the lower hole where the heat comes out and now it's not near as bad. Still hot but can put my foot out (WAY OUT) on that flange, hook my heel on it and it helps cool off my foot. Short of closing both holes can't see a way to get around the heat problem on my 2010 RT-S. :(
 
Actually, I had the heat shield installed as well. Maybe i'm experiencing the same thing you are. HMMMM!
 
Heat again.

Those that have the heat shield listed above, did you do any other changes like the exhaust tape or the cat. cover or was it just the former?

Did you remove the cover that Lamonster recommended or did you just install the one shield?

Is BRP doing anything to correct this?

If you don't remove the splash pan you will have issues. Don't do it without removing the pan nojoke

Not likely you'll see any change soon from BRP.
