    Yes. I put my 2012 seat on my 2014. The difference is the lack of the back rest hole that the newer bikes have.

    My 1330 is very slow to warm up. On a nice 50 degree fall or spring day, it will take much longer to get to temp than my 998 did. Probably close to 10 miles before the temp stabilizes.

    I have always said that BRP was as bad or worse than dealing with Harley. Maybe Harley has become their service model as well as their sales model. I hope not.

    My Honda Goldwings cost almost nothing to maintain. My Harley could easily cost as much or more than the Spyders. The brand and design are key in this conversation.
