I've seen that, too- someone hadf a muffler clamp around the bearing carrier, with a L-shaped piece of metal coming out over the bikes trailer hitch. Such an arrangement might beef up the hitch a little....but one would still have to be very careful, as there is not much holding that bearing carrier/rear axle to the swingarm, and I could just see all kinds of havoc breaking loose if one were to put too much stress on that carrier/axle and skew it. (Like the chain popping off from being out of alignment, and never being able to align it properly again....)
