Default Removal of e-start from 2014 XC300

My e-start has sh*t the bed for the 3rd and final time. I haven't opened
it up yet to see what failed yet, but I'm over it.

I actually got my best starts when I kick the bike, including the holeshot at the Ironman GNCC! So not a huge loss - now I want to remove the weight.

I assume there is a non e-start version of my bike that has a powervalve cover that does not have those 2 tall standoffs that the electric starter motor attaches to?
The other thing I need is a non-estart ignition cover for the left side of the motor.
Does the ring gear under the ignition cover serve any balancing purpose, or could I remove it as well?
Anything else I'm missing? Ah yes, the switch on the bars - gone!

Will be a nice weight savings.

Any other considerations?

Thanks!
