hey fellas i need some help in lightening up my rig i want to eventually make a 2 wheel drive like the warrior but i got it free cause i won a bet so i can't be bothered just buying a warrior and someone told me i can take the half shafts out and replace the front hubs and drop some weight that way and my 4 wheeler has been invloved in several "single atv collisions" with such things as trees and side of cliffs and big trees and you know stuff like that and the parts i have had lightened through natural selection are the pull start one tree decided i didnt need it and gently removed it for me but now i got a metal rod there sticking out so i tell everyone its an aftermarket part that makes the magneto fire faster and adds 30hp and i got a k&n filter and a sleeve thing over i think its a pre charger or whatever so i decided i didnt need the air box anymore so now i just have the basic outline of the airbox that the filter sits on and the rest was neatly removed in big shards and placed in the filing cabinet under "T" so thats a few ounces and there was an oak tree if i remember correctly that helped me remove the rear hand brake and the parking brake thing so thats a couple more ounces and there was a small pine tree that kinda pushed me off the side of a cliff one time and it hit and stuck in the mud kinda face first and that kinda shaved the front end and removed the housing unit for the reverse and the ignition and lights so now i got the reverse swicth and the ignition aerodynamically placed on the fuel tank (duct tape) and i dont know what happened to the lights and the radiator is half smooth now for better aerodynamics i reckon you only need half of them still with cracks to keep it cool and it has gives it a nice smooth almost chrome look when they are uniformyl smashed in and smoothed out and the front and rear racks and half the grab bar are still missing in action lord be with them in there time of need and i got a cobra exhaust from a warrior and it sounds like a 73 pinto runnin open headers mixed with a bumble bee and shoots cool flames when i let off the throttle and it is only held on with one bolt so that minus muffler packing and one bolt thats another few ounces and thats about it so far im still working on other assorted part removals but if anyone can give me any input on how to further safely lighten it through performance upgrades or help with information on converting it to a 2 wheel drive i would greatly appreciate it thank you for your time

From the way it sounds. Keep riding it the way that you are riding it now and it will be lighter very soon, Im sure that there is something else that can fall off of there. I am truly suprized that it is still running.

actually i prefer the term cosmetically challenged but as far as the engine i put all new seals and everything in it and the engine runs perfect and between me and you and if the wife reads this tell her you wrote it the more parts i break the more parts i get to buy so it's all part of "the plan" so if i figure out what i need to do then i know what i need to break you trackin
