So they had a custom handlebar control for just that year... that is easy. But what about the dash? So on the 2010 non-ABS they used the 2009 dash plastics and yet upgraded the background lighting to white? And on the 2010 ABS they used a newly designed dash plastics? Seems so odd. I would have expected it to be the new dash, regardless, complete with the ABS and TC lights, but just never used. However, Jimmymac indicates he doesn't even have the unused lamps on his non-ABS 2010 dash. Strange!
I think the new meters on the both the '10 models had to do with not only the backlight color change but also to function with the (formerly flash to pass) new handlebar meter button on the left bar. It probably needed a new wire in the meter connector.
'08 - '09 non ABS meter 28011-0080
'08 - '09 ABS meter 28011-0079 (ABS light in Tach)
'10 - non ABS meter 28011-0163 (white backlight, meter button function)
'10 ABS meter 28011-0162 (white backlight, meter button function, ABS light and TC light in Tach)
'11 - '14 meter 28011-0194 (changes?)
'15- '18 meter 28011-0635 (silver trim, warning light changed from red to yellow)
I'm not sure why they didn't use the '10 ABS meter in the '11-'14 C14s, was there a change there I'm not aware of?
(yes pinkie, it's still raining here.)
BTW- I appreciate the input. The only way I know to end ignorance is to shed light and facts on any issue and I would rather be 'correct' than 'right'.
I fully 100% agree with that statement. I'm wrong a lot, that's when I learn it seems. I hate to think how dumb I'd be if I was right all the time.
