Why Reflectors Still Matter

Reflectors work every time, with no bulbs to burn out and no wiring to fail. When car headlights hit a reflector, it sends light straight back to the driver and makes your machine visible from hundreds of feet away, even if your lights are off or a bulb has failed. Many states require red rear reflectors on street-legal motorcycles and UTVs, and amber side reflectors are common on vehicles and trailers. Adding a few well-placed reflectors is one of the cheapest safety upgrades you can make.

Witchdoctors carries the line because these are the small, essential parts riders need to keep their machines safe, legal and finished.

Model years: all, provided the mounting point and dimensions match. Local laws on lighting, reflectors and plate display vary, so check your state’s requirements for street-legal use.

Best Uses

• Adding always-on visibility
• Meeting street-legal reflector requirements
• Trailers, UTVs and custom builds

Installation

1. Remove the existing plate bolt.
2. Insert the reflector stud through the plate and frame.
3. Install the tension spring and wing nut and snug them down.
4. Repeat at the other holes as desired.

Most installs take only a few minutes with basic hand tools. If the job involves wiring, disconnect the battery first and seal every connection against water.

Pro Tip

Check the wing nuts after the first few rides, because vibration can back them off.

Care and Maintenance

Clean with mild soap and water, avoid harsh solvents on plastic lenses, check fasteners periodically, and replace any cracked or faded reflectors and lenses so they keep doing their job.
