Title: Fork Reflectors

I think I'd like to make these silver, one way or another. Any suggestions? V7 III

I only took a casual glance but I believed they're adhered into their rubber mount, which I would prefer not to do unless I can find something that's the right color and the exact size. Was sort of figuring I'd have to get some reflective tape and cut to size which is ok, I just don't know where I could find a quality product

I had mine removed when the cartridges were installed. Much cleaner look and I don't park on the side of the road at night.

Post by: Groover on May 29, 2019, 08:07:27 AM: I'm also on the boat of leaving the factory reflectors alone, and in the end, I end up liking them best and they keep the bike looking right. However, I've done my share of reflector removal and type changes to suit my fancy-shpancy of the moment, and good quality old school floss (not the Teflon looking types) works to get the reflectors off - you'll still need something to remove the adhesive, but that should slice them off the forks without damage.
