What is it?

[GeoffCee]

A little while ago Capt Black posted an article from Mclean's about Baby Boomers.
It was headed up with a photo showing a regular weekly meeting of Spyder Lovers.
Below is a part of that photo which has me puzzled.
There is something which I have been unable to identify hanging on the left side of a RS.
Any ideas what it could be?

The picture when you enlarge it is still not big enough

I tried enlarging it more but it became blocky, (pixellated). We're stuck with what it is.

Spare tire or spare gas tank.

A spare front wing?

Don't know..!!

To me it just looks like the normal left side panel on an RS of that year. If you look at the first picture there is another RS to the right of this one, also in blue, and you can see the same panel on that bike thru the windshield. Looks like a normal panel but I could be wrong.

Supercharger intake scoop.

Here is a similar year RS with a little better view of the panel.

Woweee...someone has actually done it...!!!....it looks like part of a warp coil assembly...probably the left floggle toggle which powers the quiddle tube wave generator.

Defiantly just an oil cover panel on a stock rs

That clears it up. I could see from the original photo that it was ahead of the rider's footpeg but to the rear of the front suspension. I've been chewing on what it could be for a couple of days. I hate mysteries, so thanks. :thumbup:
