Hi Guys,

I struggle to find these red side reflectors on the market. Any advice please?

You can see them on some pictures of 1400GTRs They are located also on the front forks.

Thanks,
Jan

They are North America market specification.
Try Ebay USA, or Kawasaki USA for the part number.

Look at cradle kawasaki parts.....  American part ... Will add when not on mobile!  ;-)

ADDED -   " look for the parts fiche for reflectors, and part no 12028.  Unfortunately, I can't get a price because its and american part and generally not available in the uk."

Hope that helps...

The rear reflectors on the grab rails are red and the front reflectors on the forks are orange. You could probably get them online from a US supplier.

As stated - illegal in UK!

Dangerous too as the red reflector may give a false impression if another vehicles lights pick it up that you were going away from them when you were actually crossing their path

Interesting.  Every new bike sold in the US has to have them.  What you said about the confusion they may cause makes sense.  Shame that our law makers aren't as well informed; don't get me started!!

tomp - the UK regs are nothing other than a red light to rear and no red lights to front.
Side markers are allowed but have to be amber.

Legislation is such to ensure that you always know which way other vehicles are heading!

Amber side markings are usually for long vehicles.

Again, makes sense.  Here, the reflectors are there "for our safety".  I doubt they do much good, but I leave mine on all my bikes, just in case the do.  The red reflectors and amber fork strips are usually the first things to go, here.  Especially with Harley riders.  Landfills must be riddled with them.

Thank you guys! So I need to get the orange one somewhere for the forks

O.C.

Like these seen here on my 1975 American spec H2C...they are difficult to find would be awkward to fit and expensive to purchase...I think that I have some somewhere  :yes:

BE KIND...

These were available from David Silver Spares (Honda) in amber during April of this year, and probably still are. I bought two at £11.95 each (ex - Vat) under Part No: 33741340670.

The telephone number for Silver's is 01728 833020 if needed.

Thanks Guys! I checked the David Silver but they want 35 eur for 1 so I will not pay 70 eur for two reflectors. What is so expensive on it, hmm :-(
