OK, so here's a probably dumb question but the answer isn't as obviously out there as you might think.
Let's say that I'm looking for a part that's compatible with my bike.
And the part is advertised as being suitable for "2014 onwards"
And my bike has a 14 plate, so that seems fine.
But... the V5c says that the bike model is "DL650 AL3"
And there's plenty of AL3's around with 13/63 plates.
Presumably, my 2014 AL3 looks very much like other people's 2013 AL3's.
So it's a "2013" bike really in all but registration. Right?
Obviously, this isn't hypothetical.
I'm after a peg-lowering kit from
cymarcbikeparts, and they advertise a 2014+ version and a pre-2014 version. They've helpfully suggested that I should probably pick the one that matches the the reg document, and if it's the wrong one they'll swap it no bother. All very lovely of them but I thought I would double-check with the collective wisdom of the community first...
