2013 FJR Missing Cover

[Constant Mesh]

Bought this bike this past November.

The missing cover is a plastic cover which mounts on the outside of the airbox duct.

Part 41 on this drawing.

The air duct is Part 11 on the following drawing.

I have the air duct but not Part 41.

Part 41's function is not obvious to me.

Worth buying?

It may reduce intake honk at full throttle.

IMO not worth buying, I removed mine to avoid having to remove it every time.
For the purist, it must be installed with new fasteners every time.

Thanks. Maybe the previous owner agreed with you.

I think the main functions of that part are to somewhat restrain the wire harness (the one that gets in the way when removing the air filter) and also provides a mounting point for one of the plastic pop-rivets that support the side cover, part #1 here:
