The motorcycle was also lightened due to the absence of a headlight, the rear was also modified with a fairing instead of a one-piece seat, and the tail was removed. It appears the instrument cluster has also been removed. Being a flat tracker, the front disc brakes have been removed, and there are new tires as well. The handlebars on the motorcycle are also wider and taller. The footpegs are also different, they don’t have rubber pads. Instead, there are spikes that improve grip.
