Only thing recently added are SW Motech crash bars seen here (barely).

Same here. I was going to go with the DLX covers but the color change scared me off (turns out not to be much of an issue). I'm pretty happy with the striped covers from Force Design.

Hey CB4ME, did you go with the upper or lower stripes?

Flynrider - I ended up going with the lower stripes. Should arrive in about a week. Did you post pictures of yours?

I have matching red fenders, air cleaner cover, fairing, etc and didn't want the slightly darker 2014 side covers.

Just this pic I took after I put 'em on.

Here's a close up I just snapped with a marginal phone camera.

I got the gold emblems separately from Takashi.

Sweet - looks mighty fine!

I got a set of red side covers for the 13. They came from samurider with chrome emblems. I just bought them from a member I put them up next to my 14 deluxe and they seem smaller in size! I have not tried to put them on my 14 because I did not buy them for it. But I might just try to see if they will fit.
Flynrider are your covers for a 13 or 14. ?

RE: Partially Deluxifying the '13 - Guth_imp - 05-21-2014

The DLX side covers look like the Standard side covers, but with some additional plastic that sticks out and extends towards the front of the bike, covering up part of the frame. Also on the DLX side covers, the bottom part appears to be blacked out. It's hard to imagine that the mounting points would be different.

Ok got ya. I see what your saying now. The frame of bike should be the same.
Flynrider are 13 covers not extending forward to cover up frame. That's how my samurider covers look but have chrome emblems and not gold like flynrider

My order from Samurider has shipped! Expect pics the day of arrival!

Thank you, sir!
Nice. I was wondering what that red, painted "shorty" rear fender would look like on the bike. Very sporty.

The covers on my bike are '13 covers. The '13 covers are the same shape as the covers on the '14 Standard. The covers for the '14 Deluxe are noticeably different. As Guth pointed out, the upper forward part of the cover sits over the frame and the bottom is blacked out.

The covers I have are from Force Design (one of Takashi's suppliers). They make them out of a much stronger fiberglass material and paint them as requested. I ordered mine without emblems from Force Design. Instead, I got some stock Honda gold emblems separately from Takashi.

Edit : Here's a closeup of the '14 Deluxe cover where you can see it covering the forward frame tube.

Well, my side covers are here! As they have been since the 24th, two days after ordering them! Post office didn't leave them; I had to go pick up the package during their regular business hours of 11am to noon, Mondays and Thursday (exaggeration). And they of course were closed Monday. Got my RLETs on too, but after I took the pics.

I'm happy to report that I can't tell the difference in Old Red and New Red, too.
