This is the biggest and most noticeable weight saving I have made:

Thanks for that advice steve , I did remove the the starter motor , but got fed up bumping it, And got a sore arse so ive put it back on now and cant really notice the weight increace. Ive tried removing the handle bars but found it alittle hard to steer at speed , so ill just keep saving up for them machini wheels. That should do the job. See you soon mate.
