That has to be the dumbest accessory ever. Hard tails were hard tails until they figured out how not to make them hard tails!
Yes hard tails look cleaner, and if your building a bike that is for show, or a retro design, you make it LOOK like a hard tail.
What you don't do IMO, is take a dampened bike with it's not so clean looks, and make it not so clean AND a hard tail to boot. F''ng stupid.
