They ship it with that crap plastic so you CAN upgrade. Just like upgrading to chrome everywhere, and different wheels. Theyh make it availabel to upgrade damn near every part on the bike.

Replace mine with a studded one that matches the seats and bags. It is unbelievable that they come with that stupid plastic one. It really dresses up the tank area.
