Have you looked at a 2014 on a bright, sunny day? Out in the heat of summer all those things cease to matter and that bike becomes one of the most perfect motorcycles to ever roll off an assembly line.
No, no, yes. LOL! Sorry, but every time I look at pics of the red '14 I have coming, I flinch....What were they thinking????? No wonder they went back to color matching side pannels....well, my search on how to get the red pannels goes on...I PMed SkooterG. (The NT I have came with dinky pannier covers so that all you could fit into the panniers was a flat sandwitch. $500 later and imported from England, I have real color matched NT "big Lids". Honda refused to provide them in the US.

 
Go to PartsShark or Cheap Cycle Parts, choose Yamaha Motorcycle Parts then do a part number search... part numbers are in post #15

 
Lipstick Pink POS is about right. Had to check the " Man Card" at the DMV to register that one.

3P6-Y2172-00-P7 and ******-P6 are the part numbers. About $66 each from Partspak.
Hummmm...guy on the other forum said

"yep

been there and done that. you can order them from any dealer

Cover, Side 1

Item: 3P6-Y2171-00-P6 66.00 each plus shipping

https://www.partshark.com/cart

Cover, Side 2

Item: 3P6-Y2172-00-P7"

It would appear one person says 171 for one and 172 for another??????

 
You want the ones that say DRMK. Side one is 171, side two is 172. They're in their own diagram in the fiche. Can't miss them.

Okkkkkk....lets look.....

.the thing of it is, partshark DOES have fiche but no colors and the parts are $66 and they are 171 and 172, DRMK, like you said....

The thing about Partspak is there are no fiche, the parts are both 172, and cost twice as much as parts shark....

I don't know if this was mentioned elsewhere, but Tankslapper will wrap your tank trim if you send it to them. If I had one of those lipstick pink POS's, I'd go for the carbon fiber 'cuz it looks good on there.. not sure I'll do that to my root beer baby though, I think it needs to keep its silver (maybe).https://thetankslapper.biz/oc/index.php?route=product/product&path=59_76&product_id=589
Ray, If you order a white tank for yours, you could turn it into a root beer float. Now that would be yummy!

PartShark is your best price. I got them two years ago for $63ea free shpn and no sales tax. The local stealer wanted almost double that price. The color is an exact match. If the silver ones are not damaged put them up for sale. I sold mine on this forum for $100. What are you waiting for??

Don't be jealous and mad cause you went out and bought a 13.

I know where you are coming from and felt your pain.

It just took a couple thousand dollars to upgrade to a proper color.

I went from Ok to WOW!

The funny thing is I never warmed up to the color of my 2013 while I owned it but when I see them now I like the look.

Although I favor both the more subdued '13 and '15 over the '14, I'd be more than happy to have either one in my garage.

Outstanding, thanks for the link! This is exactly what I would like to do (not willing to try it myself). The other potential choice would be the black of the 2015).

Dan, does Ray call it Lipstick pink cause he is jealous? Or the red ones are so fast they kiss the other FJR's goodbye? Or he doesnt understand Ferrari red?
