Message	...is removed question! Is the area ahead of the front suspension strut towers structual/essential for the integrity of the chassis/handling/steering - or is it just crumple zone ultimately? Big question - why am I asking? Well I am making a single tilt front piece for my zed and would like to lose the area as above, or at least some of it. I will be keeping a strut brace, and will have other means of supporting the rad, lights and other parts related. Some additional cross bracing will be added afterwards but need views/options on the option to remove.
