    Small problem but major work likely ,,,need help desperately

    Apex Front nose storage

    Older apex's do not need to worry about stuffing that compartment, yamaha actually makes a bag for that area, however any model with power steering has the pump with cooling fins in that area, I don't think you will want to obstruct that from getting air
