It's a good idea to read a few posts before arriving at conclusions to the atmosphere. It makes no sense for people to hang out talking about stuff they already know about, so you'll see a lot of screwing around here with an occasional useful tidbit.

With regards to your original question, there are reasons why good bikes don't come with them, people who ride a lot don't use them, and you're having trouble figuring out how to add one to your bike.
