Would you rather be looking at an oil fillter sticking out the front of your bike ?

You can show off your chromed k and n filter much better without the little mud scoop.
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

The question is though, do you think it's there to stop the possibility of small stones, chippings etc from being thrown up by the front tyre onto the oil filter :?:
Probably not much of a chance of hole being created in the oil filter if you've not using it, as plenty of you (including me at times) don't run with the cowl fitted.
What made me think was after I resprayed mine black and used it on the bike, the centre of it vertically soon became pebble dashed from what was thrown up by the front tyre exposing the silver grey underneath.

Only a thought :eh:
