With the Yamaha Closure kit they tell you too in the instructions.

I took off the side plastic after closing the rear tunnel off, no problems yet.

doesn't matter really. they will be there for mostly looks, now that your tunnel is closed.

on-off, you choose.

Closed mine off but left the skirts on, think it looks cleaner than seeing the pipe + the LEO's can't see that it's not stock anymore!

If they say something, I'll just say that's the way it came from the factory? dunno......

I believe the Yamaha instructions for the close-off kit mention to not put the plastic skirts back on.
