tj_gee, I can't find it right at the moment, but there's been a discussion about this recently. I think the axle size changed between 2013 and 2014. It's beyond me, but I can't imagine it's an insurmountable problem for the competent.
At the rear wheel of either 2013, the 25mm axle causes problems compared to the 20mm on the later bikes. You would need to use the later 20mm axle and chain adjusters, and make spacers where the axle passes through the swingarm - with a 2.5mm wall thickness, they would be a little fragile. Or use a later swingarm. You'd also need to use the sprocket drive flange and spacers from the later bike.
Randy's right - just paint your wheels.
