Default ST170 running without heatshield??

Hi there, does anyone know if running my ST170 with the centre section heatshield removed would cause any problems (Its the one that goes over the fuel tank) I know the tanks plastic, but its got plenty of clearance from the exhaust, so wouldnt melt on a decent journey, would it????
