"Air Baffle" question

My question is, is this really needed? It is missing on my 650.
If it is, does anyone have one they want to sell me as it is an NLA part.
Thanks

I don't really know if it will make a diff if it's missing or not, but Ma Kaw did put it there for a reason I suppose.
To help you in searching for one, that part fits the following models:
'80~'83 KZ550-A1~A4 (Standard) and C1~C4 (LTD)
'81 KZ550-D1 (GPz)
'77~'79 KZ650-B1~B3 and C1~C3 (Custom)
'78/'79 KZ650-D1/D2 (SR)
'80 KZ650-E1 (LTD)
'80 KZ650-F1 (Custom)
I just checked, and unfortunately the KZ650-D (SR) parts bike I have is missing that part so I guess I can't help you there. :S

I just looked at how that "air baffle" mounts to the frame on my '78 KZ650-B2, and it appears that it's intended to prevent the direct/disturbed airflow that flows between the fuel tank and top of engine from reaching the top (opening) of the air filter housing.
