RE: Removing chain guard
Hate to think of your pant-leg getting caught up in there! If you don't like the look I'd get a chrome (or other) aftermarket guard just for that reason.

Highly not recommended on removing any guards. As mentioned above, there are prettier ones available.

RE: Removing chain guard
^Agree with all of the above. If you've ever had a chain come off while going down the road, it's a pretty scary experience. If you don't get maimed, (maybe even if you do) you'll be pushing your bike to the nearest driveway. It's a lot easier if your left leg isn't a bloody pulp.
(Although, truth be said, a piece of plastic won't stop a whirling chain, but it might deflect it enough to keep it from whirling on your leg.) There's a reason they're on there.
