Thank you. Now this leads me to the question; Do you leave the bike stock? I can see changing out the pipes and keeping the originals. Questions, questions?

What reflects more...a mirror or a mirror with some orange plastic over it.

My point...the shiney chrome fork in itself will be a deflector...and it doesnt have that Walmart bike look...

Mine came off real easy with goo-gone.

Just took mine off - 5 minutes with a hair dryer, dental floss (didn't have any fishing line) and cleaned her all up with Goo-Gone.  Apply some MoCo chrome cleaner and the results are stunning.

Heat gun, draron fishing line, and 3m adhesive remover has never falled.  Same with the warning labels on the air cleaner and the rear crash bars, tour pak rack.

Sixgun pop the reflectors off asap they look terrible I sprayed WD40 on the edge of them  and then slide a credit card bebind them. WD40 also took the glue off. careful useing goo gone on painted surface it will soften the paint.  I see a lot BMW riders wearing reflective vest .I hope that is not an option for aguy like you...

J R, let's see.  Most of Wal-Mart's stuff is made in China.  Seems like every bling moco part I pick up says it is made in China.  Hmmmmmmmmmm, I wonder. [smiley=nixweiss.gif]

You have it wrong, I took mine off already, I was just responding to the comment that they help you be seen!!  I was just saying there are better things out there than those reflectors.

By the way, I have to wear a reflector on my person by DoD regs.
