    Default Half way there!

    Well.. we got the right side of the 2014 panels on FB's bike.... the left side parts came unsanded. and with out the clear coat.... pretty rough.... still working to get that fixed...
    Right side looks good... I don't know that BRP will get us the left side parts in time for us to make it to Spyderfest with all the right.. or left parts on .. so we will be coming the BRP way... half assed fixed...
    So if ya see a white 2013 ST with half 13 panels, and half 14 panels... that would be FB.. on her half assed bike....Ya think there may be a problem with QC?????

    Really?


    I'd send it back.


    I've been waiting on my panels for 2 weeks now, I'm told they are waiting on 2 of the panels.

    Why not go with the unsanded panels on the left side to SF? At least the cooling will be there for both sides and you can switch out the panels when you get back. Since you already have them, why not use them?

    Yeah.. if I put the unfinished parts on.. BRP could say they were used and not send us the right parts without more money on our part.... don't wanna go there... but it is kinda cool to see the difference between the 2 sides....

    So in your install, where do the panel nuts on the list supplied go?

    If they go on the new panels you would need new bolts because the 2013 bolts are bigger?

    I see that the original bolts and nuts can be swapped over, but can't see why we ordered the 25000079 panel nuts because they are smaller?
