If you're a weight ***** then it might be worth it for the 60 grams that both brackets will save you.

It depends upon the zip tie and how good the guy doing the zip tie is.

not everything has to be "functional", atleast not in the context that you put the idea in. otherwise where would the fun be? look thru any tuner's catalogue...spoon, mugen etc. thankfully all of them are guilty as sin.

Thats 40g EACH yO!!11 so if you spend 80 dollars on 2 you drop a whopping 80g. That brings you to a dollar per gram weight reductions ... i'd rather throw my change from McDonalds on the floor after the drive-thru to drop some grams...
