Ok, Who all has a Melted reflector on the right side of the bike? I just removed mine and replaced them with bolts and pretty acorn nuts. So the right side is melted but the left one is in great shape and is free to whomever likes the reflectors and has been wanting to replace there melted reflector. Let me know who and where to ship it and it's yours free of charge I'll even pay shipping

The reflector on the hard bag? How the heck did you melt that?
It has been my experience that good enough, isn't.

Yea when you let your T idle too long I've heard the heat from the exhaust melts it, and mine was melted when I got it

How glad I am to find THIS thread!! Mine's melted too, came w/ the bike that way. Is that ok, did someone idle it too long, what's up with THAT??
I don't want another reflector, that'll just melt too right? Wist |

Wistful, only if you let it idle too long also. By idle too long, I'm talking about letting it run too long with the choke on or the throtle lock engaged
to speed warm ups. If the bike is not moving, then there is no air movement to help cool the head pipes down. I have seen the headpipes turn cherry red durring
a fast idle at night. It's that reflective red heat that melts the reflectors, and in some cases the radiator cover as well. Of course, accidentally
melting your radiator cover makes for a great excuse to replace it with a chromed metal one.

Don't replace your reflector, replace your exhaust! I'm not sure why, but Vance & Hines head pipes don't melt that reflector, and I warm up my
bike the whole time I'm suiting up in the morning. My theory is that the V&H are so free-breathing that the exhaust doesn't have time to hang
around and heat up the pipe as much. Ah, Vance & Hines, is there anything you can't do?
You meet the nicest people on a Honda (forum).

If the Vance and Hines are free breathing, does that make them lively?
