I have consider doing this. one of those "round to it" projects. for the same reason as yourself , making access easier. I know a scooter builder who does some pretty radical stuff. he removes the cover completely, uses a polished aluminum plate held off with spacers to act as a guard. there seems to be no effects as far as bracing or strength to the motor case. Basically the cover simply serves as protection from the elements and a guard to keep fingers and toes out. IMo there's no problem making a two piece unit.
