    Remove it and install a carbon fibre bracket. Lose a gram and gain 1hp.

    That's kinda what I was thinking after I learned what it was, but I'm not totally sure I can get the aerodynamics optimized to justify the expense of going to a carbon fiber lift bracket. Hmmmmm

    It's the diaspropopal bracket that holds the thermothrockel adjustment tool in place when diagnosing the bicapulator injector. At least that's what the dealer told me!
