Question Reflectors

Do most of you take the reflectors off?

First thing off, reflectors are for bicycles.

Take 'em off. That way the cagers have an excuse for not seeing you.

Still have mine on (only 3 months old). I'm waiting until I get new chrome forks this Winter, then I'll probably remove the reflectors at the rear.

I never felt the need to remove them. I do a fair amount of night riding so I want to be seen. If the guy doing the inspection in NJ notices there are no reflectors on you bike, you wont pass. NJ even requires reflectors on your helmet to pass inspection. Most just barrow one and go back to using their own.

I took mine off the very first day I picked up the bike.

I still have the red ones in the saddlebag latches.

Its like the MoCo knows you will take them off the way they are mounted with two sided tape.

I only took off the frame down tube ones. The one on the right melted when I went to a tru- dual set up. I don't think they look bad and realistically do help those idiots with night blindness see you better at night. I also just installed a signal dynamics XP2 brake light modulater.
