Question/help request Gen III Owners

[Kingofgix]

I had my '15 1300A in for the 16,000 mile service. On the ride home, it seemed the gap between the tank and fairing was wider, something didn't look right. Then I realized that (as far as I can remember), there had been sone gray foam in the gap which was no longer there. I went back to the dealer, and they said there wasn't any foam there and there isn't supposed to be, but I sure remember it. Am I crazy or is there supposed to be foam there?

Here is a pic of the foam I am talking about. This is taken looking upward, and foam can be seen under/behind the adjustable black vent on the side of the fairing.

Here is the gap between the tank and fairing I am referring to. This is where I remember seeing the foam.

Is there foam in this gap on your Gen III?. If so, if anybody would be so kingpd as to post pictures showing it I would be most appreciative. Thank you.

Just went out to the garage to check my 2015A and no foam.

Thanks guys. I guess I am crazy, or, the foam got put in the wrong place during a previous service and this dealer put it back where it belongs. I know I have seen the foam in the seam by the tank....but I am glad to know it isn't supposed to be there.

Perhaps it was shipping / packing foam that was to be removed prior to delivery to new owner, and now they (dealer tech) noticed it and removed it as it should have been prior to delivery?
