2% of the weight off the unsprung bits, or shaved from places far from the center of mass might be pretty noticeable.
Left/right transitions don't happen pivoting from the contact patch, but pivoting around the center of mass.
The ELF team found that out when they tried slinging the gas tank under the bike, left/right transitions got harder, not easier.
