What's it for and can I remove it?

[mastiffmat]

Anyone know what the floppy plastic mat thing is on a K3 that sits just above the shock and covers the underside of the seat (under the battery box). Is it just to stop crap off the wheel hitting the battery and if so, with a hugger fitted, can I remove this rather nasty item?
:why:

Thanks

i pretty sure its just to stop the road crap hitting the shock, i reckon you can remove it if you have got a hugger on.

Its to stop crap going on yer shock I think... I cut mine off when I fitted my Gixxer shock & hugger :twisted:

I've got a genuine Suzuki hugger on it (standard shock still) so sounds like I can do away with it - hurrah!! :thumbsup:

Thanks Cloggsy
