I have recently done that to my old KZ650 I removed the lower chrome mudguard, relocated the light onto the frame under the rear cowling and remodelled the seat from a two seater to single cafe seat design. it will be interesting to see how it goes with the guard removed but there is a plastic guard still in there under the seat area.
I am pleased with the new look and have removed afair bit of weight from the bike.
Cheers
