Very stylish and useful components for your Bonnie!

 

wow, what a stunner!
gorgeous bike, congrats

 

Is there some legal requirement for bikes in Canada to have nasty plastic reflectors on the fork legs? If not, then would you kindly remove them. Thank you.

 

That is a good looking bike, jd! Along with those folks you mentioned, I give it a definite thumbs up, too. What brand are your adjustable levers? I might be interested in a pair of those. And I agree wholeheartedly with @beerkat, yank those reflectors off those beautiful blacked out forks.

 

Lovely bike! The reflectors are easily removed using some fishing line - any glue residue can be got rid off with WD40.

 

Thanks for the info on the levers, jd.

Regarding the reflectors, I know that in the U.S. new bicycles and motorcycles (not sure about what else) must have reflectors when they are sold. Even high end racing bicycles come with them. I've pulled all the reflectors off each and every bicycle and motorcycle that I've ever owned and not once has it been an issue. And I'm a real "rule follower" generally. But about the first thing I do when I get a new motorcycle is yank off those fugly reflectors.

 

Once you've got rid of the reflectors you will feel sooo much better and bollox to the rules and regs!
Next thing is to bin those Pirelli Phantom tyres. Plenty of suggestions and advice about replacements on here. I went for Continentals but others are just as good, and ALL of them work, unlike the originals which should have a 'Slippery when Wet' warning sign attached (just look at the tread!). A 'Reduced Grip on White Lines' sign would also be useful.
