Bonny: Side reflectors

What about the yellow (front) and red (rear) side reflectors on the Bonny?
Are they fitted only in US bikes?

Where I can buy some from? I blv that it would be good for a bike to be fitted with them

Hello Nassos.
I've taken off two sets of reflectors and I still have them. They are yours for the cost of shipping. You would need to get some adhesive to re-apply the rear fender reflectors. pm me if you want me to check out shipping costs.

Most build in Fareastania bikes and mopeds sold over here have 'em. My T100 had none-lucky me!

Thieu.

American law requires them, but their actual utility is very limited. Reflective striping on jackets, bags, your helmet, etc. is more effective in increasing one's visibility.

I blame the vibration & bad build quality

How are they attached--double-sided tape?

An even better idea than reflectors is DOT reflective tape. I like the safety reflectors provide at night but hate the appearance of them in the day. I put the tape (silver) on and it is essentially invisible during the day but illuminates more than a reflector. I did leave two reflectors on at the neck of the frame Here's some examples:

Bike has reflective tape on forks (can't see it)


Picture I took a few minutes ago (note forks and over battery)

My reflectors were removed one hour after buying my bike.
They are now on my gateposts.

Led

I've been looking for an LED to replace the front and rear reflectors but have not found the right size. But I will still have to use reflector tape to meet the legal requirements.
