I notice on Samurider that there are a huge number of available parts for the 2017+ models and less so for the older 2013/2014 models.
I suspect that with regards to trim and body pieces, a lot of them are interchangeable between a 2013/14 and a 2017 CB1100. I see a few parts that look interesting but don't feel like the gamble on fit with the prospect of having to do an international return. Perhaps a manufacturer of a given part just hasn't validated fit on an older older model now that they are getting up there in age?
For example, there are numerous intake air covers which specifically list compatibility with model years 2017+. That would seem to preclude being able to use them on the older models. Like this one for example.

Then I ran into this listing for an intake air cover that claims compatibility with everything back to 2010 which just makes it more confusing.

I searched the forum and found a few discussions on specific parts, but I was wondering if anyone knows what is safe to swap versus what isn't. I imagine engine parts most likely aren't safe, but I can't imagine Honda retooled very much if they didn't have to especially with trim parts. I would be curious to hear other peoples feedback.
