    Default New Side panels

    Well, the parts for 2014's are online now... http://parts.spyder.brp.com/Index.aspx

    479 705007743 LH Upper Side Panel, Steel Black Met.. Steel Black Met. North America Not Available
    480 705007744 RH Upper Side Panel, Steel Black Met.. Steel Black Met. North America Not Available

    Of course none of the colors match the 2013's so I'd recommend white and get them painted.

    Any idea if there's any other parts that we should order or if this is enough?

    If it directly replaces your original panel; you should be good to go!

    There is a 2014 ST-S in Circuit Yellow so as soon as the panels become available I will be ordering a set and installing them. But geesh, BRP sure is taking there sweet time in getting the updates out and available.

    Default Who..!!

    Whoever gets the first one will have some playing around to do. See what fits, doesn't fit cans and can'ts. Will be interesting. Hope it will be that easy for all those needing help....

    BRP stated in their catalog that the new panels are intended for use on the 2013's as well.

    Did they give prices for them?

    No published prices yet on those pieces.

    Here is a comparison picture of a 2013 and 2014 ST-S. Judge for yourself what you think it will take to fit them up.

    Looks like two panels on each side would have to be replaced.

    According to the BRP rep who was at Mountain Motorsports the other day you will only need one panel per side. He has seen the 2014 pieces but not seen the 2014 pieces mounted on a 2013 yet.

    Looking at the side by side you posted I do not see how one will do it. The new panel by the headlight curves in and the panel behind flairs out. Neither of mine do that.

    I'm not sure that's true. You can still get the Black, Silver and Yellow, just maybe not on your model. E.g. the silver comes on the Limited now instead of the STS and we all know it's the same darn panel. Am I wrong?

    Bob I think you are right. In 13 it's called magnesium and in 14 platinum silver. Why they had to change that is beyond me. I told Steve at BRP that they should give us 13 owners a break on the price or better yet free. He didn't ignore me, he wrote back and said he would keep me posted on future developments.

    Wouldn't it be kind of surprising if they were available before the 2014 ST even hit the dealer's showrooms?

    A GOS rider just posted on FB that BRP says the 2014 panels will not fit BUT they are working on something for the 2013's. Whether it will be free repair or not it still unknown. Bug BRP.

    2014 panels will not fit? It doesn't concur with other reps statements brought here by other members. I guess that we have to try it to be sure.
    Looks like Carl is going to do very valuable recon for many of us. ...crossing fingers...

    Please let us just wait to see if Carl can make this work and what it takes.

    If we just argue over who is going to pay for it a certain well known guy from Tennessee who does awesome alignments may see fit to close this thread.

    Back to topic....
