The plastic piece next to the rear pipe above the brake pedal on all my 1125's looks melted [its not] and burnt. All the other bikes i've seen are the same way.If anybody knows of an aftermarket part for this let me know.If nothing is available I might have my friend make a few in Carbon Fiber. Waiting for a price. Let me know if anybody else is interested. |

Hell...it's a naked bike, I just took mine off and let airflow thru the hole. Never missed it. Mike (Message edited by 1_mike on August 06, 2010) |

1_mike - more airflow, GOOD IDEA! Was it hard to take off? |

Yea...it's been a while, but as I recall, just one screw. Lets a little "flow thru" ventilation! Mike |

I like the lokks of the satin finish carbon but have yet to see it for sale anywhere.Seen some on an Aprilia I believe. |

I took my cover off to check it out but when I noticed it was also protection for a wire behind it[I think the speedometer pickup] I opted to put it back on. I do think the bike looked OK with it removed. |

Does it provide some function besides covering a wire? Like routing hot air? |

It was a very early(just before the start of production) fix for a "hotfoot" encountered by the press on pre-release rides. Another fix is the larger oil-cooler. Prototypes also had amber lenses on the front turn signals. A small dose of 1125 history.... Z |

wonder if an even larger oil cooler would help at all. maybe a double stacked unit? |

Maybe some oil cooler pods off the sides would help. |

I took mine off too, and the seat actually seems to be cooler. An aluminum one would be awesome because dissipate heat better. |

That shield protects the VSS(speed sensor). I've been having the 0 mph issue since it has warmed up. I added extra insulation to mine to see if it will better protect the VSS. I will be interested to see if anybody that is not running this cover is having the VSS issue. |

Looks like I'm going to take mine off for a while and if nothing bad happens I'll leave it off. |
