Default US version breakout rear reflector
I have a UK 2014 breakout which I have just fitted the US version side mount number plate to.

So I have removed the rear number plate bracket off the rear fender,I am going to re attach the rear reflector onto the fender like the US version,my question is....

Does the US rear reflector just attach straight onto the fender with some sort of adhesive pad?

Could anyone show me a picture of under the fender so I can see?

Thanks

The reflector bracket has 2 "teeth" that fit into the slots in the extra piece of metal under the fender. It has a strip of double-stick foam to stop it from rattling around and working loose. You install the reflector between the fender and the metal strip with the "teeth" facing down.

Some people add an LED strip from Chrome Glow http://chromeglow.com/products/turn-...taillight-kit/

I changed my rear brake/directionals to high power LEDs instead. The LED's I used required modifications to the taillights, but it was worth it. You can see the increase in brightness of the left taillight.

I'm liking the chrome glow lights. The LED under the fender one and the directionals.
