Okay, I'll play devil's advocate here for a second.
The cooler is not very large, and thus not likely super efficient. I'm sure Honda had a reason for putting it on the bike, but I'm not certain how necessary it may be.
If one were so inclined to remove the stock cooler, I would recommend putting a temperature probe at the inlet and outlet to see what the actual temperature drop is under normal circumstances. If it is found to be insignificant (you decide) then remove said cooler and the lines. If there indeed a temperature drop though, I would say leave it. If your not willing to go through the process of checking the temp before removing this part of the system, then any resulting damage will be worthy of a laugh at your expense.
Another option if you really don't like the look is to shop around for another cooler or a different mounting location. I personally think the "curved" coolers look MUCH better in the stock location, but the price tag is vastly less appealing to look at.
