lschuc Posted February 4, 2017 Report Share Posted February 4, 2017 True. The front fiberglass was raised to make clearance for the R3 airbox. The slots that the front bumper brackets go through were elongated to adjust for the raised profile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
