It's the third screw hidden by the fairing that locks its to the upper subframe.

Looks like it might be acting as a brace between the lower and upper rear subframe struts

Anyone try this yet?

I took the pegs off, then immediately put them back on due to this very fact. It looks to me that the hidden bolt and pegs do act as some kind of frame stiffener or support.

It's probably fine in the short run, but I would not leave off permanently.
