Cool. I put two different pieces under the fender well. One is a rectangle to prevent the rubbing of the main portion of the plastic cover that is actually in front of the airbox. The second was a piece that bent around the thumb sized plastic piece under there with the screw in it hold the two pieces together. It was also hitting there. While you are under there messing with stuff you might think of pulling back that cover piece and then putting RTV as calking between the two halves of the airbox. Due to the bottoming out it seems that it pushed the airbox enough that is separated the two halves and let in water on a rainy ride. Bad enough that it killed the engine. Had to keep draining it every 50 miles. Now that I have the RTV between the two halves it's fine.
