Meh. You'll break it.

Honestly though, I'm jealous. Your whole build looks great so far.

no rust. cage and a better hydro assist set up are going in soon. I'm just finishing up a bunch of frame plates now. I just ordered my bender so I only need the front of this frame to last a couple more trips. should be good.. some day

Yes, I'd say a cage would be stronger than frame stiffeners because it will distribute a load rather than just beefing up a stress point.
