Sweet!! Howd you grind it down? Has it weakened the frame any?

Cut orig bar out, blend/grind the sides back flush, fit new contoured bar and paint,,
had it out for a test and feels just as solid and cage didnt splay at all, and feels really comfy, compared to standard cage all measurements are still the same..

Yeah makes a big diff.. Once I do the reel foot it will be lower again...
I tried a few QTC cages but TBH they didnt work out so said Id sort it myself..
