I don't think the weight of the bumper itself is the issue, but the steel
backing to make it crashworthy in a 5 MPH impact. Replacing the rubber with
fiberglass will still require some kind of mounting similar to what's there
for the RB.
Why not just replace the rubber bumpers with a chrome pair? They look better
and they are lighter. I think the replacement is fairly simple, once you
remove all the mounting stuff.
I have a RB Midget, so the B may be different. RB Midgets look better than
RBBs anyway! (Shields up!)
