Touché 😭 Not just about the law though, why would I purposely take away the ability for people to see me better? Now THAT’S weird. 🤷🏽‍♂️

Ehh, I have taken them off of some of my bikes. I'm not so sure that being seen from a side profile is a big deal. Its the idiots in front and behind me that I worry about.

This is like asking for a new birth certificate after getting a facelift and a fresh set of jugs.

They don't work. If that's what you are relying on, I'd say make sure your will is updated. They're very narrowly directional and by the time someone sees them its too late.

On my bike I've got running/turn signal lights that are way more visible, from the sides, from much wider angles, rendering the reflectors even more useless.

I would also challenge someone to post an example of anyone who has been pulled over for this. Literally thousands of Harley owners every year convert to chrome or custom forks (Hot Legs for example), and they don't put the reflectors back on. Go to any bike night, the majority of the bikes don't have these reflectors.

My fat-*** bitch of an ex-girlfriend lost 50 .lbs.
She sure did look sweeter after the weight loss but she was still a bitch.
