I removed the valve permanently by cutting it out and took away all of the mounting hardware. Didn't notice a big difference in performance. The bike seems a bit smoother at mid-range and definitely sounds a lot better (especially during over-run).
I use a flat piece of metal and made my own servo adapter. You just got to make sure the plate doesn't rotate or come loose when in action. Go for it and give it a try. You won't damage anything if you use common sense.
