They're a straight swap. No modding necessary. Plug and play. <2min installation.

I was going to document the process and craft a thread for the How-to section but clearly that's not necessary. I can barely tell the color different from 2013-2014 too. I think I'll keep them Thumbs Up

Huh Huh scratching head. Joola did both pins clip in? The ones off my 2014 dlx would not go directly on my old 2013 I swear. I'm no master mechanic but I can poke 2 pins in 2 holes if they line up. I'm baffled.

Could it be he got the side panels from a 13 with the color from a 14??? That is why they went on so easily???

They are definitely '14 side covers. The new deluxe side covers wrap over the fram tube, the old ones didn't.

Ferret, I put the pin closest to the front of the bike in first, then the pin by the battery. The screw hole was off by maybe 1/8" but that's hardly and issue. They felt pretty secure though I do think the tabs on my '13 covers fit a little more snug than these. I'm not worried about them coming lose or vibrating.

Me too. I already pulled the trigger on the Force Design '13 red covers with the matching stripe (they haven't even arrived yet!). I guess I'll try them for awhile and see how it goes. I really, really like the new shape of those '14 DLX covers.
