Topic: a few things you need to remove from your bike

[74750k4]

so easy to make it look cool, and light weight.

Start of list...

Fenders
Gauges, and their cables
Turn Signals
Mirrors
Stock Headlight Bucket, and the Wire Harness
The Air Box
Stock pipes, and the frame piece that has the rear pegs. Got hacksaw?

What else???

[Sprocket75]

...the motor? Add pedals. Very cool...and original. No one in town will have one like it.

Stickers..it don't need no stinking stickers nor a name badge..
 People that don't know what you have it is their problem...

they pop up on CL all the time, typically with the words "ran when parked"

and super light weight.  add a maw and paw seat and you got yourself a kustom kafe

[Sgt.Pinback]

Fuel tank. Take a RedBull - can instead and create a new style.

[KrautKoffin]

Take off the front wheel, two wheels are for pansies.. Wheelies for days.

[DH]

Forget the hacksaw, waste of energy.......use the torch.

[Damfino]

That swing arm is a heavy son of a gun....

[LesterPiglet]

Remove every other spoke in each wheel. Every little helps.

[Clasico]

Drop your K4 in my garage and take my bycicle, she is very light yet powerful and distinguished

[lone*X]

Throw the stock seat in the dumpster,  glue a sponge to the frame to sit on.

[andrewk]

Don't forget to hack off any kind of mounting tab so everything hangs off of zip ties!

[Stev-o]

That swing arm is a heavy son of a gun....

and throw away those crappy shocks too, what a waste of chrome

[jdubyaj]

Lose the grips for non lubed condoms. Every gram counts.

[bender01]

Drill the frame full of holes for an erector set look! Then drill holes in everything left!

[cheftuskey121]

this thread is full of win. don't forget to get rid of that helmet, its just dead weight on your head.

[flybox1]

Rear drum brake shoes, cush drive rubbers, rear brake linkage, hub stabilizer bar...rear disk and all for you F'ers....it's all just fluff.

[Icarus]

Drill the frame full of holes for an erector set look! Then drill holes in everything left!

Nothing is lighter than a hole!

[754]

B hole is a few grams less than A hole..

[Stev-o]

Don't forget to lose the battery.  Pretty sure you can just bypass it with the wiring and it'll run that way?!

[AJK]

Were've come this far. No one has mentioned the handlebars? What do we need them for? There overrated anyway.

[cb650]

Only use a torch if it is a nice original bike.  Then lots of flat black paint.
Then its a chop/bobber/custom!!!!!!














Like all the others who dont know what they are doing!!!!!!!

Well...I don't know about you personally but I am sure a few members could just eat a few less cheeseburgers and save a lot more useless weight that way instead of taking off useful bits of the bike.

Fenders..who needs them as we never get caught out in the rain or kick up rocks and gravel or ride on gravel roads.

Mirrors...no need to see whats behind you.

turn signals...might make the bike illegal depending on what state you live in.  Though you could swap out for ones much smaller and save a pound or so.

Air box...yeah it's not that pretty but the bike sure runs nice with it...don't need the tuning hassle and poor running without it.

rear foot pegs...a lot of the women I know like to go for rides...maybe you don't like girls on your bike...not that there's anything wrong with that.    On longer trips I like to put my feet back there and switch back and forth.  It's more comfy...maybe you don't need that if you never go anywhere far from home.

Headlight and wire harness...you still need something for a headlight and some wire so at some expense and hassle you have what ...exchanged 7 pounds for 5 pounds?

Stock pipes...yeah you could save some weight there without sacrificing utility.

Gauges... I guess not a necessity but I like to know when I need gas, how many miles I am traveling, I even like to take notice of how fast I am going.  Gives me something to look at if the scenery is boring.

What else ya got...so far your list is not all that brilliant.  Unless you come up with better ideas I'll just have to keep my bike looking uncool...at least it will be more comfy and provide less hassle on a long ride.
