What's a real PITA is NOT having turn signals and needing to hold the clutch and signal a left turn at a light...
AND that's the reason most of what I own is tank shift - foot clutch

I seriously doubt most people even recognize hand signals these days.

Just a FYI ....there is a difference between a charger and a battery tender. A charger sends a constant charge without regard to what the battery needs so it can overcharge the battery. A battery tender or smart charger trickles charge over several hours and senses what the battery needs and stops charging when full. So be sure to get a battery tender, then you can leave it on your bike...and will charge if you have parasitic drain.
