    Rubber sheeting around engine?

    Working on my 17' RC390 and there is rubber sheeting zip tied all over. Is this important? Does it keep wires off the hot engine? Is it cooling engineering? Have you all removed it with no effect? Any info appreciated!

    Removing Radiator Shrouds

    I wanted to put an R&G radiator guard on my 2017 RC 390; but the OEM radiator shroud needs to be removed to install it. What's the purpose of the radiator upper and lower shrouds? I was wondering if I can remove the shrouds to install the radiator guard and shed some weight.
