Two schools of thought with the treatment of that glass flange.

One is to dress it with a metal strip running all the way from the front guard to the rear guard as noted in past posts.

The other is to remove the flange all together and expose the chassis side rail.

I prefer the removal as the exposed side rail is only about 1200mm long and starts at a line level with a vertical line down from the rear of the side vents. Leastwise on an RMC.

Assuming the chassis is flat black the eye is not drawn to the rail. The body does not look as deep and to my eye, gives a slightly better proportion.

EDIT: the exposed side rail on an RMC is only about 25mm below the body.
