I have no problem with proper weight dampers on the calipers with good form, fit, and function, but this is without a doubt an after thought. Its not a deal breaker, but very short sighted engineering to fix a nuisance issue without slowing delivery...it looks absolutely laughable to anyone that has a mechanical engineering background.

Just curious, are you sure they are "taped" on? I would assume that its some kind of metal adhesive. Haven't heard fact on that!
