I had mine off, but put it back on do to the heat factor,there was alot of heat coming up through the seat, in the summer I would think it would sheild the heat away from the bottom of your seat and keep it from melting. IMO
Yeah I got rid of mine. im not to sure whyLess parts=Less weight, get rid of it!!!
Actually im just kidding. Ive always wondered about that as well on my 450 but im missing most of my parts on my 4 wheeler as it is. As of yet still no seat meltage.
