Default Removeable Part?
I was told by another rider that this part was useless and can be eliminated.

I have no idea what it is, but it seems to come out of the carb, down the frame, then up back beneath the tank.

I've attached a picture. I dont want to start choping things off without consulting the pros first!

You're not going to pass a legitimate inspection in CA without it. If you have friends its a different story. Or you can put the equipment back on before getting it done.
