Default Help!

OK I need some big time help from the experts here. I have learned that I am allergic to amber and am trying to get rid of it on my bike. I have converted the tail directionals to the brake light mod and the amber lenses are now red. On the front I have installed the clear lenses with amber bulbs and the fender tip cap is now clear with am ber LED behind it.

I am left with two amber reflectors, HD P/N 59261-91 that I want to do something with.

I would like to convert them to either white or black reflectors as opposed to removing them and having a space in the bumper material where they once existed.

Does anyone have any suppliers or suggestions for replacing the reflectors with white ones?


All help and suggestions are appreciated in advance.

Hello flyslow;

If you want to get rid of more amber then look at some Sylvania Silverstar bulbs for the front turn signals. The bulb looks blue when turned off and very bright amber when lit. You can usually find them at Autozone or other auto parts stores, and 19.95 for two is the usual going price. I will even include a link so you can look them over.

Good luck with it.

Thanks for the suggestion. I will definately go with this bulb behind the clear lenses.

I posed the same question when I went through this and the only thing that was suggested was to go to a place that would sell bicycle reflectors and try there. However, I removed the bumper so it was a non-issue and a much cleaner look The other suggestion would be to remove the black bumper and leave the rail in which it came on the fender.
