Upgrading from interior leather luggage bag to rear speaker back

[jimmylau]

Has anyone tried this?

I'm upgrading from the unappealing (yet flexible) black leather luggage bag which lives right behind the seats and underneath the honeycombs for the rollbars.

I'm upgarding to the more sturdy looking piece which most people use to have their rear speakers sets embedded into.

However; one problem! There is a metal support piece that the leather luggae bag connects to which is sort of in the way and not allowing a perfect fit. The metal support piece is right smack in the center of the rollbar and connects to the black luggage bag.

My question is, is there a nice way to remove this support piece or is this a handsaw job to saw that metal piece off?

ANY, and absolutely any input would help!

Thank you all.

Jimmy
