stb keep it or remove it
Downsides: adds 5-ish lbs to front end.
IMO its really not hurting anything, and the weight is something that wont be noticed, just keep it on unless you don't like how it looks.

if not for stiffening the front ever so slightly, it does provide an excellent place to brace yourself from when leaning over from the front trying to get to the damn spark plugs.
