good, if you cut it beyond repair it would be tough luck finding a new or used one.
now if you cut the kick boss , then you wont be able to get those either but i know this person near me that has a large NOS kawasaki inventory that has the kick boss for that bike

A little heat goes a long way to getting those off.
