Hopefully 2 pix uploaded.
Looking for info on 4 vents in top of rear fender, but are blocked/capped under seat. What is proper configuration?
2010 Uly XT.
Thanks.

... anchor points to hook the ends of bungee cords if you choose to tie stuff down on your pillion seat

Those aren't vents. Those are attachment points for bungee cords.

Those are anchor points for bungee cords or an elastic cargo net to hold stuff onto the seat or triple tail.

I thought they sucked air away from the rear wheel & redistributed it into the void between the fender & the seat to:
A) Cool the ECM.
B)Provide a positive pressure down force effect on the rear wheel at speed!
I could be wrong though.
(They could be so you can hook bungees into them....)

Never have had a problem with ECM either in over 36000 miles.

Jeepnh,
The underseat rib is also vented. I did it to allow heat to vent out instead of dead end around the battery and ECM. I see you asked a question on the archive.

They were actually designed as vortice actuators for the BLACK uly. (otherwise they would be SO fast, you couldn't hang on to the bars)!

Now some of you are screwing w/me, NP/ok, then the rest are just confused,
I've seen elsewhere on here, folks putting PVC elbows, either on the underseat side on wheel /fender side. Seems a few folks are thinking venting ??
What say you?
This photo is from someone else / Archive.
possiblely VENTS??

No the top two are for the new "type AK-47 USB" wireless internet ports and the bottom two are urine drains for long distance touring. You will need the 02021:: DO-ME-NOW-TWAT HD kit to make it work though.
