Just curious.
If you go back to my build during fuel tank relocation,you will see the original cross member was removed to accept the new rear mounted tank and this was welded into place at that time.
The reason behind doing this was to strengthen that area for the tank straps to hang from and not to mention a little more safe as an extra bumper in the event I get rear ended.

Cheers,
Ed.
