Does any one see a problem in removing the cross brace shown below either temporarily or permanently given that I've welded a flat bar brace further forward already. This brace is quite close to the rear shock mounts so I could expect that it would be best to replace it but in case I need to put the replacement where the existing brace is I would cut it off then weld in the new piece. Is this likely to allow my frame to warp?
I've made up a custom seat pan and mounted it but it sits a little high where the standard cross brace fouls. I know I could just grind it down but I'd rather cut it out and if necessary replace it with a flat bar cross brace because I've removed the battery and side covers so it is excessive and protrudes into the void plus it is a big obstacle for my tail wiring.
Its the cross brace shown here (someone else's pic) with the two round bar prongs poking forward.
