Title: Where do the front reflectors go?
Post by: BeerGarage on January 10, 2009, 03:27:19 PM

Hi

When I got my 2001 GS500E, there were no reflectors, anywhere. I went to the bone yard and got a handful for $5. I figured out where to put them in back pretty easily, but can not figure out where the go in front. I have seen pictures of them on the front forks, but can not figure out how to put them on. Can someone post some pics of how and where they go? Brackets?

Thank you,

BeerGarage

iirc the lower tree has a pinch bolt, and the reflectors are tightened as a washer there. i'm going to check bikebandit.com - but here is a closer up:

Thank you for the help! I put my JY reflectors on, with their newly fabbed brackets, and judge them "adequate".
