It's a valid complaint. Engineers have no business being that stupid.
Not Shadows, mine is an NC750 and my wife rides an NC700. Hard bags on both. I replaced the simple reflectors on her hard cases with double rows of LEDs behind the reflector lenses. I added surface mount LEDs to my cases. All connected with quick attach connectors on the wires. Easy on/off. Lots more visibility!I prefer my turn signals down by the license plate on my shadow. I've got my bags hard mounted.
I think there is more to it than that. In addition to parts there is also the fact that people who ride cruisers tend to want minimal lights. So they put minimalist lights on those.Then you wouldn't make any extra money. They designed it, because they need more parts sold.

My wife and I ride adventure/touring style bikes. They look like big dirt/dual sport bikes. Adv/touring bikes come with minimal lights like the Shadow, but people who ride them tend to add all sorts of crap to the bikes so there is a wide selection of saddle bags/hard cases from several manufacturers. And then lights have to be customized to fit those if you want more lighting. Blah blah blah...
So Shadow riders are more like HD riders in that most are minimalists. Often without a helmet, rarely with protective gear, etc. ADV/Touring riders are a different type of rider, often wearing full face helmets, armored suits, and loads of lights on their bikes. Cafe Racers appeal to yet another crowd, as do Superbikes, etc.
I got a 7 month old but I've always worn a helmet, maybe not kevlar suits but jeans boots, goggles, leather jacket and gloves. I plan on 3 more years of riding my shadow and then buying an Indian Chieftain.

All is NOT quiet in chiraqi already.
Police all over the place on the south side blocking the roads. Bus had to take a slight detour.
Probably got a bunch of tax breaks and financial incentives paid for out of excessive taxes that were extracted from the citizens and visitors of chiraq.Not that early in the morning.
Ya did miss some cool 1940s cop cars in downtown chiraqi this morning. Some film crew was at the park and it look like some action movie. 2 cop cars, 1 other car, gangsters with Tommy guns, a few "dead" bodies in the park, lots of floodlights and camera crews.
Thanks boss.
72 hours.
What a dick.
