This bike also had a different radiator cowling part number 47X1246701

This cover has a cut out where it sits behind the front tyre

That crank photo shows what looks like Bill Wilson's upper crank seal solution. That uses a machined spacer and a lower crank seal.

That is an interesting view of the specific cover that is screwed on the crankcases before the new flywheel.

Amazes me that Yamaha would go to all the expense of tooling up for this modification and then just produce 150 modified bikes.
If only there was more free time.
