starter kick back ring

[BusaReds]

Is the 04 already equipped with this from the factory or still an aftermarket mod?

???
Is it pressed into the case around the actual starter shaft?

Where does it go?

??
is it under the first starter side cover or do i have to remove or the next cover you can gain access to "the cover that i knew as the igniton cover on the old school bikes?

?"

From my understanding(I could be wrong), 03s and up don't need the ring because they have beefier idler gear/starter/whole smash. The titanium ring is for 02s or less, who are susceptible to kick backs. 03s and higher aren't susceptible to kick backs.
