    @ Icemang, vishwas and Shrinath rao... I have only removed a mudguard, that also not completely, half cut. Thats all.
    Please do weigh your bike and the half mudguard to ensure that the 2% limit is not crossed. Actually, for you, there would be some issues in ADDING weight by way of butter chicken

      Do you know that the turbulence behind the bike will bring dirt and chikkhal flying back on your own backside?
      Advice is a form of nostalgia.
      Dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it's worth.

        He has already experienced that first hand.

        In my opinion, cutting half hugger is really pointless.

        Trying to reduce couple of hundred grams from the hugger while stuffing yourself with half a kilo butter chicken with a stack of butter dripping roti is really really counter productive.

          FYI i have not removed the mudguard to reduce weight, i have done this because i really love the bike in that manner, looks kinda different from the rest. Loosing out on such weight is not my answer for making it go faster, yet i pin it at the apex

          Yeah, that also with a glass of coke, i mean my third glass of coke in a contribution.

          EDIT- @anant, no it doesnt. There are no drippings even when iam wearing my bag.

            You mean to say chicks look at your half cut hugger rather than looking at you?

                If the girl looks at the half cut tyre hugger, they will have to see it only when the bike is parked not riding behind him, as during that time i am sure he will be getting abuses from whichever chick/guy behind him.

                You removed the tyre hugger complaining the tyre hugger seeps water in your shoe, now the bike would have got pissed on you and spraying all mud on your back.

                • Someday soon. I love the color of those mags, Though its an R125, i want that paint scheme. Iam halfway through by getting it black. Also the absence of rear mudguard makes it look awesome, wish our bikes were same.

                            Actually I have only experienced it secondhand. I always wear some kind of jacket/windcheater/raincoat even if there are wet roads (just to save my shirt from getting dirty).

                            But once upon a time back in 2002, I was going along on a cousin's Bajaj Sunny Zip with a pillion who was wearing a white tee. After the end of the 7km journey, the pillion was not very thrilled especially when he took a look at his arms and back.

                              I meant that Ishan has already experienced the dirt flying on his / pillions' backside. In fact, from the market rumours I have heard, his pillion has refused to ride as pillion on his bike.

                                I am sort of confused if that was dirt or was it a cleaver cover-up of the reality.
