That don't leave much you can trim away, why do you want to cut out some of the electronic stuff any problems with any of it?

I don't understand! Why would you want to start removing electrical items?

Just doesn't make a bit of sense to me. Ya not going to save enough weight to make a difference. Ya not going to gain any hp to speak of by reducing the electrical load. Just doesn't make any sense to me... But I do like the suggestion of using wire cutters...
