Ambient temperature should be at least 60° F (16° C) for proper adhesion of the reflectors to the sliders. | 
Figure 1. Reflector Placement | ||
| WARNING Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 108 requires motorcycles to be equipped with rear and side reflectors. Be sure rear and side reflectors are properly mounted. Poor visibility of rider to other motorists can result in death or serious injury. (00336b) | ||||
| 9. | See Figure 1. Use a piece of dental floss (or similar material) in a back and forth motion to loosen the reflector. Rotate reflector from side to side until it can be removed. Retain reflector for future use. Repeat procedure on the opposite side fork slider. | |||
| 10. | Remove any excess adhesive from both reflectors. Surface must be clean for installation. NOTE Position the bottom edge of the reflector 2.0 in (50 mm) above the center of the axle shaft. | |||
| 11. | Peel the liner from one side of the foam double-sided tape (5). Position the tape to the back of the reflector. Press firmly into place. Peel the remaining liner from the tape. Place the reflector in position on the fork slider as shown in Figure 1. Press firmly into place. Repeat the procedure on the opposite side fork slider. NOTE Allow AT LEAST 24 hours after applying the reflectors before exposing the area to vigorous washing, strong water spray or extreme weather. | |||
| WARNING Whenever a wheel is installed and before moving the motorcycle, pump brakes to build brake system pressure. Insufficient pressure can adversely affect brake performance, which could result in death or serious injury. (00284a) | ||||
