I took my silver shroud off too. It was flapping around as most of the reflector had disintegrated. MOT was no trouble like this. And I'm pretty I got more light out the front too!
Interesting thing is that when I came to completely upgrade my headlights with projector units, I had to cut away at the reflector (which, incidentally, was flaking waaay worse than yours Gav! You've got a good one!). The plastic immediately around where the headlight fitted just crumbled away like I was dremmelling a sand castle! But it then became INCREDIBLY hard! Blunting a few of my cutting tools and wearing out abrasive attachments in seconds.
Good work Yamaha, complete materials specification FAIL!
