About the chin spoiler thing...anybody else think it makes the bike look like it has a radiator?
I'm always looking for ways to rip things off the bike & clean up the lines...the P-pad and passenger pegs got axed on Day One. Other pieces have been ditched along the way. The horn and ABS are going soon.
The big fight is gonna be with relocating the voltage regulator somehow...maybe

As for the ABS, removing that seems like a bad safety idea too. Plus, you'll need to figure out how to get the bike's ECM to accept its no longer being there, which could be a problem.

No horn/inspection required in my part of the USA. Aint Freedom GREAT? ...and I've never used it. I don't know what it sounds like. It's going.
I've got 20k miles on this bike - never activated the ABS. I see it as clutter and unnecessary weight. You guys know they built the FXSB without it for a year or two, right? Ditching it is just a matter of unplugging and removing the pumps, then swapping out the ABS specific brake lines for a set of the NON-ABS lines and bleeding the system. Easy. Maybe the ABS light will come on...ripping out the bulb will fix that.
I doubt the bike will be affected in any other way. To test my theory, I'll yank the fuse for the system before going crazy tearing the bike apart.

The Breakout came w/o the ABS when it was released as MY 2013 but it was available as an add-on. Ever since MY 2014 it was standard. There must be a reason why today's bikes usually come with ABS!?
But do as you like...removing that huge amount of weight surely will improve the bike's performance significantly
