X 2. The change in inner fender design to accommodate the change in battery size.

Sorry, that's not the reason.:(

Something to do with the R3 installation ie ducting for the air cleaner?

Exactly!:)...Metal tubing was installed to duct air from the lower grill area to the supercharger as the fabric tube was collapsing....At that point the right side hood prop was in the way, so it was moved over to the left apron.
