Default Reflectors on front fork tubes

I was wondering what everyone is doing with the fork tube reflectors, besides just removing them. I changed the entire front of the bike to custom dynamics , so everything is clear/white and I just hate the Amber reflectors. Any ideas? Do they sell white reflectors? Thanks

In some parts of the World amber is the approved colour, especially at the front of a vehicle. I don't recall seeing white reflectors that will fit on the forks. In the past H-D used rectangular reflectors stuck on the front fender, which you can consider. On my own bike I have an amber rectangular reflector, having removed the one on the forks, but that is to give an old style of appearance.

Lose 'em. Just a cleaner look without them.

You could spruce up the front a bit and get chrome legs. No reflectors there. I don't think they're required so get rid of 'em at least.
