    Default Reflector on saddle bags

    Has anyone had problem with the reflector on the side of the saddle bag on the ST Limited falling off? I have a 2013 that I purchased in mid-July and have only about 1200 miles on it. Luckily the reflector fell off while it was in the garage.

    If anyone has had that problem, what did they do to fix it permanently?

    I would recommend cleaning off the old adhesive and reapplying it. Make sure you clean the application surface very good as well.
    If the adhesive on the reflector has not been contaminated you can try reheating and reapplying it.

    The saddle bag reflector on the dealer's demo ST Limited also missing. Seems to be a common problem.

    Had mine on the right side fall off somewhere down the road about 3 weeks ago.

    I fixed it by having the dealer replace it under warranty

    Mine fell off the first ride. I pulled the other one off so it would match.

    Yes, mine fell off while I was on a road trip. I think that happened the first week I had it. It was covered under warranty. I think the dealer used double sided tape to attach.

    The reflectors on the saddlebags also have a foam tape spacer that is used to fill in the indentation and then the reflector is applied to the area with more double-sided sticky foam tape.

    I had one of mine come off so I got to thinking, I'll pull the other one off an put a side light on them. I made them so that you can unplug them when you take them off.

    Default Reflector on saddle bags

    I have Led brake lights and side reflectors on my saddle bags on my 2010 RS. They work wonderful even when the bike is in reverse they flash. The RS/GS, ST are not well lit in the rear. I also have the 3rd. light in the rear. Even Ray Charles can see me from the rear. Safety is being seen on a motorcycle!!!! I also remove my bags often an all wire is waterproof and quick disconnect.

    PM me for more info.

    My reflector fell off during my trip to 4 corners with less than 3500mi on bike.. Dealer replaced at no charge...

    If these reflectors are the same as they are on the GS/RS version of the Givi/BRP bags, then the colored panels are supposed to hold them in place. Sounds a lot like they are being improperly assembled.
