it doesn't act for anything, honda must think the weight helps in shifting, it might but if it is in the way of anything which i dont really see happening you dont need it i dont believe. why do you need to know?

i would cut it off myself... if you got a weighted shifter it would be better to have the weight up top to throw the gears.

i think it's there to make it weighted for easier engagement into your primary gears. (i.e. 1st and 2nd)
