Hi all, I acquired an 1125CR a couple of weeks ago. Love it.

One thing, the LH radiator cowl doesn't fit nicely like the RH one. The RH side has a constant 1/4" gap to the frame spar, on the LH side I can fit my hand between the two at the back.

Plastic looks to be fitted correctly, problem looks to be the complete assembly misaligned. Not a huge worry but it'd be nice to have it right, is it a known build buglet?

Cheers in advance.

Mark.

The left side does have a larger gap. I don't know why, and I don't have measurements, but I do often stick my left hand inbetween the frame and pod while riding to warm them up. My right hand cannot fit in the gap on the right side. I have two 1125's, both of them have this built in left hand only oven feature. : )

It's because they expect you to be twisting the throttle regardless of how cold your hand gets.

OK, so mine's not a special mutant version. Good. I suppose.

Might have a wee look at the mount anyway.

Cheers guys.
