Default Weight reduction question

If you remove the egg crate supports behind the front and rear bumpers to help get some weight off will the bumpers start to sag or get deformed?

No, they won't sag.

While that stuff doesn't weigh much, the saying is "take care of the ounces, the pounds will take care of themselves."

CCW drag pack with bias tires, remove passenger sit, Light weight battery and depending on what mufflers you have some are tanks! Obviously Ti's are a great option...
