Oil cooler adapter issue (advice)

[seekinsoul]

I bought this nice used oil cooler setup from makenzie71 a little while back for my 550L, and I decided to mock it up while I await parts for the bike. As it turns out, there is a slight clearance issue with the adapter.





I would guess that unused boss is for the clutch cable on the 750, but isn't used on the 550 like mine.

My question is: Would it be safe to just cut/grind off the boss to make clearance for the oil cooler line? I would say yes, but I guess I want to hear the GSR collective's opinion on it before I do anything.

Thanks

Wack it off!
I can't really tell what's going though with those pics.

EDIT: I see now the issue with the connector.
Take Chef's advice and whack it off.

Yeah, that's why I edited the pics, it's kinda hard to tell what the issue is. There is NO clearance for a fitting there at all. I haven't decided if I'll whack it off or not yet.
