Works out to about $273 USD. A little more expensive than a stock cover, but it looks nice. I wonder what its made of.

That plate holder looks seriously bad ass.

Give a better cooling to the rear cylinder

That's an odd function of a intake cover.

The 1125 is air cooled now?

The intake cover is for an xb12, and only the licence plate thing is for the 1125.

A paper note taped to my XB-R's airbox cover is blown forward when moving, over the tank fill opening.

Note paper's behavior indicates air at top of airbox is moving forward, same direction as motorcycle.
Therefore, I'm thinking on an XB-R, those 'ram-air' scoop locations may be less than optimal to increase pressure in airbox.
They do look different.

Yup. Fluid dynamics are a bitch to figure out. With your body sticking up behind the bars, it must be causing a negative air space in between. I have 2 small tassle/windsocks on the zippers of my tailbag, and they smack the back of my helmet because they're always flying straight up.
