Do the 4 black things come off? Are they optional in assembly?

Yes, these are optional when you go to assemble. I thought I didn't want them on but I think it worked out better to put them on after all- I would definitely suggest having 2 people for assembly

You do not have to put them, but unless height is an issue, I would put them on.

If you are asking about the little legs on the bottom, I think you take them or leave them on. I left them on.

Mostly... there are a few things you need to screw together but the largest parts where already assembled when it arrived. You do need to place all of the decal stickers and snap a few things in place though. It was pretty easy to do though. No power tools or anything like that needed.

I had to put them on during assembly. You could probably just skip that step if you don't want them. I have them on and locked, which seems to work well.

Yes, as stated, loosening the nuts work! :) I just put mine together tonight and found the reviews and these comments to help keep the entire assembly process from becoming a fight with my wife, hee hee. We put the thing together in about 9 minutes and then another 30 minutes of trouble shooting etc... Not too bad. The foot pedals still make a little noise but I suspect this is due to the fact they are cheap plastic.

The front of the black corners are removable. However, if you take them off, it's very obvious that they are missing (it looks like something is supposed to be there).

The two silver clips holding the black cover are hard to remove. Just pull them off but you may need a tool (something like a pliers to pull). Pull gently, they do come off.

No. I wish I'd asked first like you. It comes w a black piece. The extra one is just sitting in my garage. I only bought cuz it said " people usually buy this together " so assumed needed but no.

If you remove the cap screws the top should come off. If the opaque panel is interchangeable, you can swap and reassemble. If not, remove the desired panel and spray it black, reassemble.

I would highly recommend not taking this apart at all. They are made pretty cheap. If you want to get rid of it, I hate it too, then just wrap everything in tape but the top surface and spray with flat black paint.

I have the black version of this, but I'd assume it's built the same....The whole frame comes off with just 3-4 tiny hand tightened nuts. Once off the whole frame slides off and you can pull out the glass.

If you are referring to the black plastic band looking thing, I had the same problem. I had to partially glue it in place the first time. Everytime I use it and clean it, that part comes off, but I make sure not to remove the residual glue since it makes it more tactile for when I put back together again.

The arms are not attached. You can choose to omit them in the assembly process

Yes, these assemble and remove very easily. I did mine myself with very little effort. I'm sure they can be removed just as easily.

You don't have to remove anything. It just sticks on despite what the instructions say. I imagine there is some drilling involved with the illuminated version.

I agree with the previous answer that they look fine in black as a contrasting color. They are easily installed and can be removed when not in use. They actually recommend that they be removed when not used to help with mileage. I haven't noticed any wind noise from them and leave them on all the time - never know when I might need them.

I just received mine about 2-3 weeks ago and it was completely assembled. I got the dark stained one; not sure that makes any difference.

If it is a coating it might take it off. I don't have black, but I can see this taking off a coating especially if it was cheaper. Mine just has laser detail, and it was fine for that.
