Don't like the sound of that, may have to cover that with tank tape as I don't intend refitting it on the race bike as it gets in my way a bit

Thanks for the link Keefy

I removed it on my bike - just pull it off. You might also wanna try moving the tank forward on the hinge - makes a bit more room.
