Ugly reflectors begone!

For whatever reason, a lot of motorcycle makers put exceptionally little effort into making federally mandated features look even remotely decent. Luckily the reflectors they bolt on are as cheap as they are ugly, so I have no reservations about pulling them off and tossing them in the trash.


Didn't bother with a "before" pic, but the "after" version looks nice and tidy. There was a whole extra bracket on the rear that both propped the licence plate out an inch and held some circular red reflectors. No idea why.

That said, I still want to be seen, so I'll be ordering up some retroreflective tape to restore my low light conspicuity. (Or, more likely, I'll just swipe some more of Tyler's stash)
