There are only two things that look like that (the pattern of holes) on a motorcycle that I've ever seen in all my life, the steel mesh in an OEM airbox, and brake pad backing shims. I have never seen a motorcycle water pump impeller personally in real life, but that was instantly recognizable nevertheless.
I thought the simple pattern of holes would be a dead give away, with the only two choices "Airbox screen"? or: "Brake pads"?

Is that the trim piece in the bottom of the frunk?

That would be the plastic 'clamp' that holds the rear brake hose and ABS line to the rear swing arm.

Well, 1st I was going to use this....
But then remembered it wasn't a standard part.

I have never seen it but I would guess that has to be the inside of the air box/filter top cover?

What me again?
By the way PJM what was non-standard part you were going to use? I am intrigued.
Anyway, your new puzzle is.......
..... the lighting is not "natural" but brings out the grain in the metal!

Man the non-dct riders here are getting burned on parts we never have seen. I looked at my brake pads last night and the metal plate for the non-dct is smooth, no holes. Then the plastic piece that holds dct brake lines comes up... I can't win lol

Blimey, that looks a complicated box of tricks then - I have just been wiring some extra lights and things and although I like planning it all and making the looms I HATE trying to route cables on bikes!
Sorry if your feeling left out Hmcp88 - but sometimes it can be difficult to know what bits are different - I think the brake pads (holes or not) are differentiated by ABS or NOT - which, on your side of the pond equates to DCT or Manual, but for the UK I THINK ALL the bikes have ABS so you could have a Manual with those pads! Confused, I know I am!
Anyway, I can assure you that my picture above is on ALL versions.

LOL Mine has both pieces and it is not a DCT model, but a NC700XA (ABS, but manual gear box)

See you overseas guys get the good stuff. I really wish we could get ABS without having to buy the automatic, I just don't think I'm ready for automatic.
