There are certain beach communities in So Cal that look for reasons to keep motorcyclists out of the area. Some of the things they look for is, loud pipes, handlebar hight, helmets and yes, reflectors. Can you imagine getting a ticket for no reflectors? It’s never happened to me but I have met people that have been pulled over and ticketed for this.

Mine fell off. HD glue did last long in the southern heat.

Yes, the light reflected is from the shape of the inside, or bottom of, the reflector. HogWorkz sells them.
