Default Snow shovels - For or against?

I'm having to keep my eye on a certain person who shall remain nameless because he has threatened to cut off my "snow shovel" (the bit at the back with the indicators an plate on) with an angle grinder. Personally, I like it and think it looks great. Am I the only one or does anyone else think Suzuki did a good job with the a**e end of the SV?

No - it can't be true - There must be someone else out there?

No, no. Hovis is, for once, on the money.

No one likes the back end. It is only a matter of time before revulsion overcomes financial obligations and the shovel comes off.

Neither for nor against exactly, do you like it? If you do that's OK and, frankly, the only important deciding factor.
My SV1000 has had it removed, 'cos I think it's ugly, but mine is a K3 and the later bikes, (K5 on?), are fitted with rather more trim looking rear ends. That said, come the rotten weather it's usually refitted as it does a damn good job of keeping crap off the rear light which can become utterly invisible in a frighteningly short period of time.

I'm not to keen on the sheer size of the thing but I don't really want a tail tidy either.
