Because of course you want to add another half kilo of unsprung weight to an unsprung component that already weighs about the same as a small house..........
Carry on.

Sprung vs. unsprung. Not an issue for anyone really but it offends my sense of 'Engineering purity'.
I also think they're as ugly as fuck!

Looks similar to the arrangement that is supplied with the Indian FTR1200.
I decided to remove the setup on my one, for the same reason to save unsprung weight. Saved around 4 Kg.
Unfortunately, when I did this, I got covered in mud and water flung up from the rear tire. So back on it went, and it's still there today. Can't say I notice the difference.
