GSXR W fender bracket removal?

[Upshotknothole]

Is there any easy way to ditch that big metal bracket that goes under the front fender on the Ws? Seems like the fender is strong enough on its own to not need that thing. I need to pull mine apart, but thinking I should be able to just use nuts in place of it. Thanks

Not mine, but image added to show what I'm talking about.

I ditched the one on my 7/11 over 20 years ago and the mudguard holds fine. Only the brake lines need some new brackets made to prevent them from scratching the paint.
