Why? For cooling or to look cool?

What is it made of? A local sheet metal place might be able to make you one quickly.

It is for access to the spark plug I think. Normally it is plastic with no vents.

Paint it, carbon fibre look. You will not be able to find that part anymore.

Since you are so insistive... That thing is not an aftermarket part! It's a modification. You cut the existing piece of plastic and you combine it with a floor drain cover! Voilà!

Nice!

Is it functional as well, or merely decorative? And if functional, in what way?

Traded in: 2003 GL1800 with 152K and several IBA rides on the clock
6 other previous bikes
nearly 3/4 million miles logged

I think it is only decorative but while running more air reach the engine and this should be an advantage.
About rain, my mechanic told me is not a problem because spark has a rubber sealing
