It also helps sort out the parts that need to be ordered and replaced. And it saves weight, obviously. Lighter = faster The parts are sorted out in categories, that will continue throughout the project. The parts are categorized because some of them become obsolete for racing purposes. This concerns mostly bodywork parts, electrical wiring and controls. TO KEEP: frame, swing arm, wheel hubs and fork, engine TO REMOVE: mudguards, fenders, back lights and flashers, side covers, headlight and blinkers, crashbars, mirrors, disk protection, horn TO REPLACE tank, seat, exhaust, controls, tires, spokes, carburetors, battery box and wiring harness
