From the Winter issue of American Thunder;

The US spec amber reflectors have been removed from the front forks. They’re only fixed on with a sticky pad and simply twist off. Experience has shown that dirt and moisture collects behind the reflector and reacts with the anodised fork leg. In some cases this has resulted in severe corrosion which has remained hidden behind the reflector.

That's one of the reasons I took the bloody thing off

I took mine off because they look cheap and remind my of a Huffy push bike from K mart.

I took all the reflectors off for both reasons - hard to clean behind and they look gayer than an Elton John hat party.

Besides I already have hard-wired head and tail lights so they can stick their reflectors up their proverbial arseholes.

I took mine off as well but I stuck them all over a mates helmet,I thought he would like that.
