Default Lower Fork Reflector Question

Ok so ive done quite a bit of searching (HERE AND GOOGLE) and i cant seem to find some replacement reflectors..

i had my lowers and cowbells powder coated well obviously the reflectors are off...

i like the idea of reflectors and will put some back on if i can find them in a smoke grey color anyone point me in the right direction?

thanks

chris

chris have you considered using the blackout paint that comes in rattle cans for taillight lenses? you could use the stock reflectors that came off your bike by using the foam type of double sided 3M tape for putting them back on. just a thought.

Another option might be to go with 3M reflective tape. It somes in black, glows white when hit by lights. Cut a piece in any shape you like, prep the surface and stick. Easy to remove if you don't like it.

Another option is to look at bicycle shops for the slim rectangular silver reflectors that they use on some bicycles and adapt them with 3M tape.
