A lot of cosmetic changes to the EX for 2019. Fork gaiters, painted fenders (plastic instead of steel?), all silver motor, painted (plastic?) side covers replacing the hand finished brushed aluminum, silver colored intake runner covers replacing the black with the chrome accent, black finished footpeg mounting plates instead of the polished and clear coated mounts, stripes on the tank, contrast piping on the seat. The changes make the new bike look pretty different and perhaps cheaper to manufacture. I prefer my 2017, but that’s totally subjective.
