The current body fits the new car, just need to elongate the hole a little. New car runs single mount too.

The part numbers for the Fr/Rr Shock bodies and shock caps are different when comparing the XB9 2013 and the XB814. The rear shock shaft is also different...

Given the expectations they set a couple weeks ago (a few pages back) it sounds like they are a couple weeks out still. I assume shipping, customs, etc plays the biggest part in that.
