• 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.

RT Block Off Plate?

Is your right foot to hot to be comfortable? If not then probably not. Many said that the 2012 didn't really have a heat problem either but my right foot even in boots was cooking,so I put the block off plate in and no more problem. You decide, how uncomfortable is your foot?
My right foot is comfortable/and I do not have any issues.


My right foot is normal. No problems. Thanks for your help! Deanna
 
Can anyone give me the part # for the 2014 part? I'm not sure which part to order and don't want to make a mistake. Thanks

I don't think you need one for the the 2014. Go back and re read the entire thread and you will see where 2014 and up have a different cooling system that eliminates the hot right foot of the earlier models. Is your right foot hot when you ride? If not you don't need it. Check the Spyderpops website (on the SL home page) for more information.

Hi Dee!
None of the 1330 RTs need the block-off panel. The radiators aren't in the same place, so you don't end up with the hot air anywhere near your right foot... :thumbup:

Sorry,my bad I have a 2012RT and would like to use the BRP part.
 
I don't know if BRP makes such a part. I bought mine from Spyderpops when I first bought my 2012. That plate is working very well for 18000+ miles now. Go to http://spyderpops.com/spyder-rt-radiator-exhaust-block-off-plate/
From an earlier post,this is what I was talking about
I put a 2014 grille on the right side, it incorporates a lower block off plate and matches the stock 2013 left grille perfectly. If I can find a pic, I will post it. Some slight modifications are needed to make it fit, but really an easy install. I think it cost $17.00 from BRP. I had the Spyderpops block off plate for a long time, and it worked well, but it just didn't look right. The 2014 grille di the trick for me.

Couldn't find,a pic, sorry.
 
Part number and Pic before install

This is pic of the 2014 RT Grill and block off plate aka (RH Side Grill 705004803 ) that I have removed the bottom edge and left edge of to fit into my 2013 RT open holes.
