2013 ZX14R plastic cap thingy???
Hi all. I've just become the proud owner of a new 2013 ZX14R SE.
While looking over the bike, I noticed a little black plastic cap at the back of the left side subframe, just below the front left luggage hook. Can anyone tell me what this little bugger is?

So if I wanted to delete the helmet lock on my 2007, this cap thing might work to cover the holes? I checked online and there is no parts fiche available yet for 2012-up. Can someone post a close up of this trim piece please.

^^^Thanks for that. I got the part #'s from that site and ordered from Ron Ayers. That kawasakipartshouse wanted $16+ for shipping. I got the parts-total shipped from Ron Ayers for $15. Parts alone are like 8 bucks.

Yeah.. Babbitt's Online does have higher initial shipping prices. I usually wait til I have several OEM parts I need before filling an order and have found that Babbitt's shipping is lower on larger orders than Ron Ayers. That said, I have ordered plenty from both.
Anyone actually test the pieces from the 14r on the Gen 1? I have had that part in my list of parts to order on my next OEM order for several weeks... maybe I ought to actually test the one from the 13 on the 07?
