And the reason I got the brush guards and folding shifter is I'm quite certain I'll lay the bike down now and then, and I wanna minimize damage to the controls when I do.
coming from someone who's also close to that, might consider pushing it a bit further. my 17/43 worked pretty had to maintain 55. the motor never argued with me, but I hate to run it that hard for too long.
