I strip the reflectors off my bikes but haven't done it to the street glide yet....I do worry about being visible....to the point of considering a set of those LED accent lights. some love em some hate them I tolerate them for safety....I know the law's the law but they appear like a better safety feature than a thin reflector.

There’s been upteen posts about how to remove the front fork deflectors...first time I’ve seen one about putting them on.

I’m not judging...just noting. Lol

The reflectors were in the box with the new lowers. The dealer just left them off because nobody ever wants them. Tell them to give them to you.

I bought my RK used and it still had the reflectors. I quickly removed them just like I use to on my bmx bikes.

I guess it has become cool to remove them and I certainly have in the past. But the last years I have spent a metric **** ton of money on lights, both front and rear. This has me thinking that I would not only keep the stock reflectors but stoked them to be LED. Never been a fan of stupid lights on a bike but maybe I have been living in a cave???

Addition through subtraction first thing that comes off any new Ike I get. Next is the goofy heel shifter, and all the ridiculous stickers they put on the bike. I also take off the "Six Speed" emblem on the transmission cover. So hideous.
