The Mamiya 6 MF has the extra framlines to use with various masks. Anyone aware what tech offers removal of these extra FL?

Here's an answer 2.5 years too late:
I don't know anyone who will remove the extra "multiformat" framelines, but I will tell you that I use both the Mamiya 6 and 6MF.
The other day I shot the whole day with the MF, but when I got home and wa taking some notes on exposures, subjects, etc., I honestly couldn't remember which body I used that day. I simply did not notice the "extra" and "distracting" MF lines at all in real shooting.
CONCLUSION: I only shoot 6x6 with the Mamiyas, and those square lines are the only ones I notice.

Paul, Mamiya USA can change the rangefinder out with a classic 6 RF if they have one. It will cost you a few hundred dollars. I agree with sleepyhead, when I had an MF body I didn't notice the extra framelines unless I was purposely looking for it.

I just shot a full day in Germany with the Mamiya 6 MF, and the extra lines were indeed hardly noticed, on the contrary: I used them sometimes to line up my camera to make sure I was holding it perfectly horizontal or vertical.
