Can this be removed? (Handlebar support)

Hey guys, installing some stuff on the 400ex (hoping to write up on some stuff once I get it installed) such as a Trail Tech Voyager, an atf/O2 guage, and a kill switch.

All of this mounts to Tue handle bars and am starting to run out of room. So my question is, what is the bar going across my handlebars (black rental foam thing)? Can it be removed?
