I've had my '14 limited for 11 months now. In that time, I've racked up nearly 10,000 miles and thought I was comfortable and knowledgable on the features and benefits of the bike.

Last night, I'm sitting on it performing the infotainment center software update and I notice what look like a couple little ***** on the lower fairings.

I reach down and realize they are levers to open and close the lower fairing vents.

Up until now, I had opened or closed them manually before I took off on a ride.

Whodathunkit.

 

Yes, i had my SGS for two months and during a detail i noticed a rubber plug on the right side of the fairing, it was 12v charging jack, i thought that's cool.

 

Yep - its there. I was aware of it because my 2011 had them (they were round)

12V charging jack use to be cig lighter on earlier models.

 

Huh? How did you open and close them manually before a ride if you didn't know about the levers?

 

I opened and closed them by moving the vent itself. (Always while thinking it was dumb to not be able to work them from the saddle). I do feel kind of stupid and am wondering if I can use this instance to get at least a partial refund on my college education. Lol.

 

You do know about the heated grips

 

I do know about the heated grips. .

 

LOL! Now that's funny!

 

Gotcha.

 

I could swear that the fairing charging/cigarette lighter socket used to be on the left side of the batwing. But I am getting older.
