EXCESS BAGGAGE - with the minimum amount of expense and least fuss tone down your Dragster to the bare minimum of adornments, try to reduce the weight of your bike as much as possible (less weight = more speed), ever considered salads?

Remove mirrors. OK, so you can't see the cops behind you, but your bike looks sleaker without mirrors don't you think?

De-sticker. Carefully remove all the standard stickers, you'll need a bit of Turtle Wax / T-Cut to remove that sticky residue that's left behind. Customise your Dragster with your own graphics. There are plenty of companies who make stickers.

Remove mobile phone compartment. Let's face it, it's only for the utilitarian's, do you really want all mod cons? You'll find the trellis much more visible now from the side aswell.

Conceal Battery. You can go one stage further after removing your mobile phone compartment by concealing your Dragster's battery actually under your seat. You'd have to remove the battery from in between the trellis underneath the front shock and re-connect the wires to the battery under your seat. Of course this is only feasible if you don't intend using the small amount of luggage space you have available (which isn't big enough to fit a helmet anyway). By moving the battery though you'll now be left with a trellis frame which is more visible. Check out this example on Mattias Fogelqvist's Dragster in Sweden.

Shorten standard number plate bracket. Remove the excess plastic which sticks out at the back and your bike will have a better profile. Re-fit using as minimum amount of weight as possible, bolt your number plate back on using some lightweight L-shaped brackets. Or try this.

Remove pillion passenger seat. If you're the only person riding your Dragster, replace the seat with a body coloured cover to match your bike. The extra weight from a passenger will really slow your bike down anyway.

Losing weight. The standard exhaust is probably the heaviest weight you can remove. Performance exhausts are much lighter. Where possible use carbon fibre, you can replace mudguards with carbon fibre ones. Steel floorboards look good but in all honesty they're simply too heavy, likewise go for a carbon fibre tax disc holder, not one of the 'heavy metal' ones.
