Don't worry. Within a year or so they'll release their new "Retro Kits," which will "fit 2018 models and up."

Naw man, it's all good. It's next to impossible to offend me. An NCO taught me in the military that if something offends you, it means there's a kernel of truth to it... so I learned to just let things roll off me like water off a duck's back

Exactly my thought

I'm thinking that among the first accessories, we'll see a retro-style front turn signal kit for the 2018 deluxe.
