I am not a fan of the fake shrouds on these bikes either. Cutting the excess off would make the bike slimmer in the tank area thus reducing wind drag I would imagine. If there was a clean way to cut back all the way back to create a smooth line from the upper front of the tank cover to the lower rear, that would be the best for me. However I think the ugliness of the plain black tank under the cover would show thru.
What are you using to cut it with? Something like a hot knife might work well.
