I made sure I had plenty of clearance between the edges and anything that could rub against it. But I was thinking about that last night because of the couple of cuts on my fingers, so I was going to run some electrical tape along all the exposed edges.

I've got my bike in pieces in the garage, about to take the valve covers off, and I have a question about the plastic guard that is in front of the front carb and under the air box (see pictures). Is there an easy way to get that off without taking the carbs off? And if I do get it off, does it need to be there? Can I just leave it off? Looks like putting the bike back together would be a lot easier with that out of the way.
My only guess as to purpose is cosmetic, or maybe routing air into the snorkel on the air box. I found the part on BikeBandit and they call it a guard/heat shield, but it's just a flimsy plastic.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanx
