Dogs, please help me out here!

Do i NEED that cross brace on the handle bars of my bike?


I looked closely at a 2010 and did notice that the "sweep" of the bars is less than my 2007 bars so is this why its there?

I understand that on standard (thin) bars ill needs to be there for support/strength from them bending....

Been tapered bars etc was this really needed or is it a image thing?

I find that it is a pain with my tank bag (Cannon actually fit the tank bag as the "cross bar" gets in the way :mad:) so id like to remove it if it does not really serve a purpose to be able to use my tank bag.

thanks in advance
