According to Amizon this windshield does not fit the 2014.  ???  What year is your bike Mike?

There are only two C14's variants-  gen 1=2008-2009 and gen 2=2010+
In his second picture, one can see the left console with glovebox and heated grips, so it is a gen 2.

BUT- gen1/2 are identical in more ways than not, and windshield fitting is identical on every C14.  So Amazon's thing is wrong.

You can't exactly trust Amazon on whether something fits or not.  I just bought a wiper arm from ebay and double checked the number with Toyota.  Amazon, however, was not happy with my choice.

Did they send a drone over to straighten you out?

I don't like them drones.  I've got something for them if they come my way.

Bike is a 2012 (gen2). Amazon is wrong that model is specifically for the c14. I will admit that Puig could pay a little more attention to how they cut the holes for mounting though. They make it a tight fit to put on over stock but it goes on solid and rides great!

Yeah now that you mentioned that I went for a ride today and noticed that after raising the screen 1-2 inches there was a noticeable noise cancellation with the wind. I like how it still provides great protection but makes the bike look so much sleeker!
