Mine has some poor moulding on the main seam at the top flat surface. I recall having to clean up my 2010 model a bit too. I agree the nature of the filter design (namely the way the filter wraps around the frame) makes it very hard to not get a seal. I used to worry on the old bike and now in comparison its so much easier to check. Haha! I'm sure with time and feel the skill will be in place.
Looking forward to riding this steed.
Ended up ordering Force rad guards again. I've had a good run from them on the old bike, but they haven't been tested too hard either. Most damage is from light tip overs and roost/trail trash thats impacted the front grill.
If the stock gg bashplate doesn't have access to the crank case drain and/or sump I'll drill these in before fitting it up, just to make life easy!
