    Such a nice day today I took advantage of it and installed some bits I ordered.

    First was the maintenance cap under the light. Easy snug fit, but still don't see the point of it. And it could have been a few millimeters larger to fill the space.

    Next was the bits in the rear cowl to fill all those holes. Not sure why these were missing since the POs said they didn't use the rear seat cowl. Maybe these were options from Honda.

    Last was the caps for the swingarm and wheel. Again, why did honda level these open? Such a missed opportunity.

    Another thing that's odd is that all the plastic parts are only available in black. One would think that they would come in the the various VFR colors.

    Have fun and stay safe out there.

    The cap under the headlight area is an access cover for the position light that is on some homologations, i.e., not North America.
    There is a OEM plastic cap for the left end of the rear axle, it is gray. However, I have not seen one for the wheel except for chrome ones being sold on ebay. Wondering what you used there.........

    I do have the ugly grey piece for the swingarm side. I got the chrome parts off ebay. It's the same part on both sides. You just have to adjust the fins to fit the left side as it is about 2mm larger.
    Then I found you can also use pipe/tube caps from your local hardware store...lol
