I had also noticed in the bike show photos posted up by CA200 that the top triple clamp on the '14 model appears to be a polished unit and it got me to wondering if there were any other associated changes made, so down the rabbit trail I went.
I can't tell of the upper triple clamp is polished, and at times in certain photos the passenger grab rails seem polished, but I don't think either are. However the brake reservoir lids for the clutch and front brake ARE polished.
The instruments have different graphics in the sweep area. The 13s have 1 line... The 14 dlx has two lines and a grid like pattern. It also says 6 speed in the tach.
2 things I don't understand are the repositioning of the headlight and the smaller turn signals..I mean why bother
And I wonder now about the mounting on my street shield EX due to the higher headlight mounting.
