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.
Suggestions for installing fog light cover plate back on left side of 2018 RT?

My 2014 was difficult. Didn't seem like enough room.
Put the bottom in first. You have to slip it in between the housing and that big glob of crap behind the housing whose only purpose is to make your life miserable.
I used my cell phone as a camera see what I was doing.
Once the bottom was in I could push the top in until it locked.
It helps a bit if you swing the handlebars to move the tire out of the way.
This will allow you to wrap your hands around the frunk and touch the top with one hand, and the bottom with another.
Either that, or you have to remove the frunk.
It took me about 20 minutes of slow, careful tedious trial by error, until I got the cap back on.
I found that it helps to lubricate the work with verbal references to BRP, all the BRP engineers, the unmarried parents of the BRP Engineers and frantic calls for help to various deities both real and imagined.
It can be done, but what a PITA.

Hmm, sounds like some Johnny Walker might be of assistance from the way your describing it but thanks for the tips.

My advice
Have plenty of band aids and don't have anyone around that is offended by swearing:roflblack: There is not much room but after fighting with that thing for what seemed like hours I finally was able to get it back. On as stated in another post do the bottom first, it was not easy by far.

:agree: Wivwot'Esays! :thumbup: No more noise, & no discernable drop in power or torque! And it makes doing sooo many things under the tupperware a helluva lot easier!! :2thumbs:
It it likely that water could be drawn into the intake :dontknow: if riding in the rain or hit a puddle, reason I'm asking is there is a vacuum there and I would think that mist and or water droplets could start wreaking havoc on the internals?
Hmm, I'll ponder this over, would be nice to leave it off but I don't want to risk compromising the internals?
All input appreciated! :thumbup:
I took the snorkel bit off my 2013 RT some years back, and have ridden thru more than just a couple of multi-hour long toad-strangling frog-drowning downpours & a few 'hub deep' water crossings since, all without any issues! But it is your call.
