I have been putting some time into my quad recently cleaning things up, and after looking through the "drag bike" thread, I see mine still looks like a cluttered mess.
Where are you guys relocating things like the Voltage Rectifier? (or is it Regulator? I have seen it called both) I shaved my fenders recently, and would like to remove the headlight brackets, but on the right side...that holds the voltage rectifier, and a few other things like the reverse switch and the coil.
Are you guys just tucking these parts up under the plastics so they aren't seen or are you actually getting rid of them? Also with the coolant bottle, most drag builds don't seem to have one anymore...just getting rid of them for weight savings? Any issues by removing this other than the obvious that I should be aware of?
I'm not building a light-weight drag quad by any means, but I wouldn't mind getting rid of some unnecessary things for weight savings, or at least moving some things so it is a little cleaner looking. I will be spending most of my time at the drag strip, so if I don't need the parts...I don't necessarily want them on the quad anymore.
I already basically stripped my quad of all of the bolt-on stuff...no more bumper, heel guards are gone, fenders are shaved, headlights gone, and I shaved the bumper mounts off yesterday. I know I could go a lot further, but I swill want those little conveniences like front brakes
. This thing isn't a strict drag racer or hillshooter, I still want it to be "hotrod duner" at heart.
Thanks for any help and insight,
Kyle
