When you pick up your 450r from the dealer what is everyone going to take off to loose some weight?

I am thinking handlebar plastic and plastic nerf bars definately. Maybe front fenders and chain guard. What does everyone else think.

Ha Ha. I thought that there would be some good discussion on this but I guess not.

There's virtually nothing you can take off the TRX that would remove any appreciable amount of weight. You might save 5lbs. total (with 4 of those pounds coming from the steel frame of the heelguards) from removing those items you listed.

If I do in fact get the 450r I will only be taking off that monster pipe and replacing it with either a Sparks or HMF. Other than that everything else stays. I don't race so really no need for me to.
