Hi All,
The ADRs only require one reflector on each side. That can be the front one or the back one. HDs come with both because of DOT requirements and that meets the ADRs when they change the rear reflectors to Orange ones.
Good question... I still have mine on the 09 Sporty, BUT the lower fork legs are starting to look a little sketchy and pitted given the clearcoat gave out years ago. So i'll be removing them at some stage to polish the legs and then leaving them off.
All good points. I might whip them off on the weekend and just be done with it... I rarely, if ever, leave the bike parked in a Dark side street of a night, so having them serves very little purpose to me.
I left mine on, just to look stock original like as bikes a few years old ( more than a few )
What about replacing them with smoked reflectors?
Smoked reflectors return white so they'd be ok on the front.
Do what you like but I wonder why anyone would remove a safety device from their bike unless it falls off, gets taken, or never had one. It's hard enough getting seen now. It's not like people look at a bike (any bike) and think "gee nice bike but I wish it didn't have that reflector" I can just hear the offending driver who T bones you say "I never saw him" "isn't he supposed to have a reflector on the forks" and the subsequent lawyers field day
