Stupid Question: No Right Hand Grille?

[wd5gnr]

I've noticed you can see the fan in the right hand side from the driver's seat pretty clearly. Tonight my wife said, "How come there's not a grille over that like on the other side?"

So I looked on the 360 view on the CAN AM site - Sure looks like there is a grille. So I go look at the parts catalog: 09 front body... there is an LH Grille (#479) but not an RH Grille. What gives?

This is a 2013 RT-S, by the way.

Not a big deal, but just wondering.

That's normal, Is'nt strange?:dontknow::dontknow:
:dontknow:

the grill of the left side fits to 99% also on the right side - one of the german ryders installed it www.spyderfahrer.de

Thanks. The German link just took me to some portal, I didn't find the actual post. From the pic though it looks like some plastic surgery was in order. I noticed the grille is cheap enough (as is speaker grilles which I already bought a pair). Thanks for the info.

BRP didn't want anything in the way that might restrict airflow; that's why it's "missing by design..." :thumbup:

Doesn't come with one, It was designed that way for an unrestricted [hot] air flow.

Normal

Your looking at a perfectly normal Spyder. Your just as normal as the rest of us that did not pay attention to details while in the pre-purchase stages of our buying phase...


When in doubt read the manual.....

Well, like I said I did look at the parts manual and saw there was no grille -- but the 360 view on the website clearly shows a grille there, so that's why I asked.


Thanks!

You're absolutley right about the website showing a right side grill. http://www.spyder.brp.com/spyder-rt/rt/detail?color=Pure_Magnesium_Metallic

There are some after market right side grills available. Check some of the site sponsors. I do not know if they offer any for the 2013 models.

:welcome: You are not the first and will surely not be the last to ask about the famous "missing" right hand grill. Welcome to the party. :thumbup:

You can have both upper & lower in metal for $105

About two months ago my wife and I went for a long ride. When we stopped, I said, "shoot...looks like we lost the grille on this side.." I later realized there never was one. :sour: Does seem odd.

 

[Bob Denman]

:sour: HEY!! :gaah: Now mine is missing! :shocked:
Personally; I think that "wd" took it... :roflblack: :joke::joke::joke:

 

[ThreeWheels]

Is this what you're looking for ?

 

[Bob Denman]

Oh; now that's just showing off! :roflblack:
But how'd you do that?
Is it a left side OEM that's been tinkered?
Kewlmetal?

:thumbup:

I like the looks of the RH grille, and am looking at adding both an upper and lower grille. I really like the Spyder web design.

Question -- Since BRP intentionally left a grille off, am I in any danger of not allowing the heat to escape by covering up those holes? I don't want to add something that may generate extra heat.

It was one of the first add-ons we did, never had any issues.
