The turn signals don’t affect performance or ride ability. I’d rather spend my money on something that will affect my overall riding experience rather than aesthetics. Some people don’t put as much effort into looking good as they’re riding comfort/experience. Also the difference in performance you’re speaking about is negligible, he did mention he didn’t notice any serious power loss on the top end. For someone like myself who does a ton of wheelies going up a size in the tires helps a lot! Makes the bike 10x more stable. I’ve never noticed any serious instability with a size larger tire, and I don’t “ shred “ the streets like I’m on a track so there’s no real concern aside from adding a little extra weight and if you’re like me and don’t do highways with this bike anyway, losing a few MPH isn’t a make or break
Thus the wink emoji...
Should I have highlighted "incremental"?
