Side reflectors
I was wondering if anyone knows if you have to keep the side reflectors on the bike (the two that come stock next to the horn and right below the passenger seat)? I really don't like the way they look but i do not want to be pulled over for not having them. I live in Texas if that helps anyone answer this question.

Re: Side reflectors
They are required on all motor vehicles to be street legal. If a sharp-eyed inspector sees them missing, you will not pass state inspection.

Re: Side reflectors
Reflectors are not required in all parts of the world but they should be. Not for decoration but for your health and welfare. It may go against the grain for some folks but a more easily seen bike is a safety factor day or night.

Re: Side reflectors
You need something there.
If you hate the current location, then relocate. Or, you could always swap in some trucker lights. That way you're visibile and cool. |

I have to agree here. Anything that MAY get you seen at night is a plus. I put reflective tape in red and white on the back of my helmet. Those reflectors may work just once and save your life and you won't even know it.
