Thanks for going into the fitment of the cowl in greater detail. Plus looking more closely (the edited photo above) I do now see how that cowl sat ontop of the original tail fairing.
As you say, looked like an "extra attachment".
Perhaps a perfectionist might have considered getting that piece glued then blended (with filler) to the original and sprayed. But a lot of effort, just for a cosmetic change.
My bike has an aftermarket undertray, plus the original numberplate plastics are gone (I elaborated on how I did that in another thread). So it is looking smooth back there, plus uncluttered. 8)
