B8200 - What are the plastic pieces for?

[NBMike]

I bought a 1987 B8200 last fall. As I have been reading the manual, I can't figure out what the purpose of the clear piece of plastic with a metal bracket surround that is on each side of the engine.

Can anyone tell me their purpose?

Thanks.

I sure don't know and I have them on my B9200 also.

could you post a picture?

They're a fake fender to keep dust and mud off your feet...

This isn't the best picture, but if you look real close you can see what he is talking about between the exhaust and the foot rest.

They almost look like diverters for heat from the fan and engine compartment. just my 2 cents /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif
