    Please note the oil cap, also festooned with superfluous electrical tape..............I suppose it's there to assist in lining up the lugs of the cap with the notches in the oil tank filler neck.

    Apparently too much electrical tape on hand.
    The front/rear wheel theory makes sense. I did not think about the R offset.
