Looking to purchase a 2014 DLX seat because I prefer the look and the slight increase in height over the 2013. Nothing on Ebay, but I see that I can purchase the seat via Bike Bandit for around $260. Just wondering if anyone else has purchased one directly from Honda or via a third party like this and if I will need to buy the little rubber bits in addition?
77200-MGC-N21ZA is the part number I'm looking at.
Thanks!
you might want to put a wanted ad in the classifieds. People buy Lamms and Corbins and K&H's for their bikes and might have a DLX seat hanging around in the garage they'd be willing to part with for less than the price of a new one.

Good suggestion Ferret. I kind of thought that the 2014 DLX seats would be scarce by now and I just ordered a new one from an online source. Will see if it comes with the necessary rubber bits to just mount it.
If you are installing a '14 DLX seat on a '13, be aware that the lower edge of the seat will not line up properly with your silver grab rails / turn signal mounts. The bottom rear portion of the seat is at a different angle than the '13. Mine fit but made contact with the grab rails. I ended up removing the rails and building a custom luggage rack / backrest that matches the angle of the seat.
Good luck!

Good to know! I had one on my previous 2013 and not sure if I noticed it.
My new to me 2013 should arrive today or tomorrow so I'm excited to check the fit of the 2014 seat I ordered.
I Bought from Bike Bandit, no issues other than it took them 2 months to get it in and send it to me, which wasn't an issue since I was waiting on the local Honda dealer to get a new 2013 rear rim in that they managed to drive the bearings clean through the end of the bearing cup in the rim, that I had asked them to install new hardware in. But not one issue on quality or anything else. Just depends on how much you want to save money.
