Just thinking this machine weights up around 700 pounds… Is there anything that could be removed or simplified to shave a few pounds?

A couple ideas I had: Remove the extra plastic shield on the left side, and paint the exhaust heat shield VHT flat black. Also remove the dual taillights, and make a bracket across behind the muffler for a single taillight.

Also thought about removing the plastic shields up under the front fenders. But concerned they may shield sensitive parts though.

Whatever I do, I want it to look good, and not hacked up…

Any ideas or pictures?
