I had thougth about leaving it in there for about ....ohh um 5 seconds. The birds nest of wires behind it has a short/loose wire that keeps acting up with my passenger turn signal and I was tired of fishing my hand in there and blindly rattling the wires. Also I plan on tying the cage into the frame. I like to play hard when I have the oppurnituity, and having stronger axles I know I'm gonna end up putting it in some stupid places, and will need the extra support.
