Went to dealership for some gaskets and formula+ for primary, and tried to see about getting a sling bag.

After getting my parts I was looking over the 3 Ulys that had in stock and noticed one of them had the new chin piece (dimpled) and started to look over the rest of the bike for differences from mine. I noticed that on the left side of the steering head where the wire harnesses run from the headlight area across the frame to the engine area there is a new hard plastic protector for the wire harnesses. I thought cool, they fixed the rubbing of the harnesses from the forks/triple clamps to the frame like my Uly has.

Upon further inspection I could see a pinch spot in on one of the wire harnesses where contact is being made further down from the plastic protector.

I looked at the other Uly right next to this one, it did not have the new chin spoiler or the plastic wire harness protector, but the harnesses had a little more slack and therefore had more room to enter the frame area at a lower point, and not getting caught between the frame and fork/triple clamps. Nice lock to lock steering with nothing getting pinched.

Anybody notice any other changes?
