I've seen bikes with this piece cut off I don't think it'll hurt anything or change anything that has to do with riding. The one thing I do see if you cut it off and round it and then you cut the top part that fills in that gap by the motor there will be a gap there if you don't mind that I can take pics and show you what I mean if you want..
