Maybe it is different in the US, but here they tail section that holds the plate and turn signal are the same.
Funny, both the comps that were sold opted for not putting on the stickers.
I told them to install the HP sticker on the tank for mine.

- vins are diff. Mine is a comp. I saw yours posted up in a thread when u were first taking the standard. I don't have my bike yet, but do have the vin and mine had a "C" where yours had a diff letter.. I forget what yours was.. maybe s or somethin else, but a remember noticing the -c in mine.
So no fooling savy dealers by trying to make a standard a comp by adding parts.

There isn't an S or C on my vin. It is the same bike with extra stuck on pieces. Nothing to do with fooling anyone. An HP4 is an HP4. The comp is only a cosmetic package.
Like heated grips are an option, so are the comp pieces.

Maybe in Canada..
In the USA, the comp only gets the engraving on the trees, and with only 150 comps in US, they will hold value greater.
I also can tell you vins will be different in to, dealers are not going to be fooled by making a standard a comp, this is a very exclusive bike, they will make sure you can tell them apart.
Just like on the ducati's, you can vin check a standard model vs a S or a tricolor, or like old cars when you de-code the vin for ss packages or others.

I found your post... Wanted to see the diff... My brain is not always that good...lol
So maybe the F - stand, C-comp or is it just a random chance my comp has a C

WB10D1101DZC96608 /Comp/Twisted1
Ps.. wasn't trying to mean in a cruel way - fool. Just saying I think the vin shows the diff.

Either case, still awesome bikes. Not worried about exclusive or resale. I don't flip bikes every year. My trade in was a 10 yr old bike I bought new. Now for the next 10 years.
Congrats on your comp and to all bike owners in general!! Is it spring yet??

Oh for sure man - I agree!
Hey..
Offer still open to bring your bike down here to Florida!
I got an extra room, plenty garage space, and warm weather!
Not very curvy... In the summer Fl stinks, but in the winter it rocks!
Congrats to all!

Actually working on a plan to truck it south to TN and ride to FL. Get my first 1000 km out of the way.

All the HP4 bikes have the triple stamp.
