    I have been wondering that also. There is one on each side of the cowling.

    Likewise.

    If the panels aren’t concealing any useful features on the engine, then they’re possibly a vestigial element from an earlier or similar design iteration. It’s also possible that the panels can be replaced with a different part which then provides attachment points for some accessory.

    Find a spare set, weld a small vertical tube onto each one, and hang an american flag off each side! 😎
