hi again.
well it appears your crankcase breather has been removed, looking at the blanking plate thats been fitted ( above clutch ) it dosent look like a home made part, so do we assume its an aftermarket mod ?. could it be part of an emissions reduction system.
my bike is a 2005 america 790 and has the breather intact, I would expect our bikes to be the same so this makes me think that it is a mod of somekind, how is your engine breathing is there a crankcase breather fitted someware else ?.
the plate inside the america cover, could it be a vibration damper or is it used to surpress noise, I dont know.
same goes for the plate in the standard bonnie cover???.
maby someone else on here can shed some light on this matter...
sorry to not be any more help, but please let us know what you find out and how you get on, as I am very interested as to what is going on with your bike.
good luck steve.
