Actually it adds quite a bit when you remove the rubber junk from the mount. Run some corners or hit some bumps with and without it, you will see the twisting. I suppose if you do mild riding, you might not see a huge impact but if you start to hit some curves, the deficiency becomes clear.
You will also see that most bikes come with braces designed in from the factory.
I tried dropping it on my 78 and it was, shall we say, unsettling.
