Eh whatever...if you feel better with it on there, that is fine...actually the one that came with mu Comp is pretty small compared to some I have seen...doesn't look so bad....but I wouldn't ride with it on there.
i'm not a mechanic.... i'm a RIDER! so if they asked me to leave it on... no problemo!
NOW... had they asked me to leave on the reflectors... i would have complained!
i didn't/don't have the knowledge to argue with them... (and since no one ragged on it from my pics... i don't think it was that noticable!
)
as of my ride after work last night... she has 406 miles on her! and i have 8000.2 miles for the year!
