You can see the 2012 on the Kawasaki website now. Very disapointing compared to the Canadians. It shows the side deflectors for $146 for 2010 and 2011. It looks like our same old C-14 with a new color.

Have the dealers come back from the meting with Mama Kaw?
If so, who's tight with their dealer?

And we are surprised at this why?

Hope! That's why. Hope that after four years of us asking for a cc on the C14 that Mama Kaw will do so.  :-\

If Canada truly has this option now, we'll probably get the trickle down on the 2013 models.

Maybe we should start a call in campaign to Kwak US.  Here's their consumer number...

949-460-5688 (notice it's not toll free)  hours are 8 to 5 PT.

If they have it, then we can buy the parts.  But I'll see it to believe it.

My thoughts exactly.  Although it would be likely that such a system would use the ECU to control it and require special software.  Something you are unlikely to be able to "buy".

But not to worry, we all know it is just a typo on the site.  One person already went through all the CDN parts list for the 2012 and there is nothing cruise related.

 I know, I know :deadhorse: , but has anyone spoken to a trusted dealer that was at the Kawa Dealer Conferance?
