Rear fender liners...

For all you trackrats, have you removed your rear liners?
Asking because under compression I'm burning through the plastic.
Next concern is, those who have removed the liner, tons of air buildup will or could occur and act as a parachute. The rear liner blocks off the opening access area to the rear.

Thanks!

Somebody I know has rubbed through the rear fender liner and damaged their fuel filler line. Not a fun thing. He had to replace the line..

Yea I'll give it a whirl, but they are pretty much burnt up at the top near the fender lip from the tire under compression.
