Touring Rear footrest Support Mod for Big Tires

Who’s done it, what exactly did you do, pictures, and how big are your tires now?

I really want to run 28’s, and I see no reason why there’s so much support back there. I don’t have a 500lb passenger standing on the rear footwells. There’s a support coming up from the bottom; why not just cut off the top part and add some more support at the bottom if necessary?
