No reflectors. The bike has plenty of natural reflection.........

My '05 Heritage Classic is pretty much stock except for some chrome trim stuff. I left mine on for the same reason as Nutsy. If I had a customized ride I would take them off. Red and Amber reflectors on a tricked out paint job takes away the impact.

Gone from the front. Kept the back ones since they are almost the same color as the paint.
