    I don't mind reflectors, anything reasonable to save me getting biffed again will do.
    Its a funny thing , abs on a bike , i dont really wanna test it.

    With the way the euro is against the pound I think whatever he gets he'll be able to get it gold plated

    Hi took mine home a week ago pulled the reflectors off and spent about 2 mins running the excess glue off with my fingers. Polished up the forks job done.

    I imagine that most of these bikes will not get ridden in poor weather but have a look here for the result of leaving the reflectors on the Showa fork of a Buell XB9R

    Experience has shown that dirt and moisture collects behind the reflector and reacts with the anodised fork leg. In some cases this has resulted in severe corrosion which has remained hidden behind the reflector.

    Here's the resulting corrosion....--> here, --> here & --> here
