I removed my fork reflectors this afternoon.

Yea or nay? Too "Squidish"? Should I put them back on?

We don't have vehicle inspections in Alabama and 90 percent of the sport bikes running around my area have no reflectors on them whatsoever. ****, a lot of them don't even have any turn signals either!

I don't ride the R3 at night so I removed them.
I like lots of reflectors on our 1300 cruiser, but not on the R3.

I like the look, will be doing the same to my bike when I get it.

I think it will only look squid once you start wearing flip flops, shorts, wife beaters, and paint it neon anything.

The bike looks great without them. Check in to fork LEDs, great look without sacrificing safety.

Took my reflectors off within 5 minutes of bringing the bike home. It's SOP for any sportbike.

Not something I even gave a thought to, but think I'll do that. Does help clean up the lines a little bit.

Definitely not helping safety though.

If you take them off and a car T-bones you, reflectors wouldn't have made a bit of difference. They're only there because the DOT mandates it, just like the bigass ugly fender.

I have considered taking mine off as well, but it's like something is telling me that I shouldn't

If I plan on riding at night, like you said, it only takes a minute or two to pop them back on.
