Hi chaps for my groats worth , I think Honda,s marketing+ , public relations . Has been utter shite.i can only speak from personal experience . Eg, I ordered my Africa twin ,November 2015, I was told by the Scottish Honda rep, delivery by the end of January , January came nae bike , I phoned Honda gb only to bee told Honda have moved the goal posts, anyone who ordered a bike before the bike show and anyone who ordered at the Birmingham show take priority .thank god I have patience . I take delivery . Tes 1st of March. HONDA fantastic customer service :evil: :evil: :evil:

American I believe. Harleys have had side reflectors for years.
required by legalisation on 2016 bikes I`m afraid

Still not seen one in the flesh yet.... I guess i'll get round to it sometime and even take a test ride on one, just to see whats like, but i'm in no rush.
The hype has completely passed me by. I dont go off road so dont see the point of me ever considering buying this bike.

One good muddy lane will sort that... Or a bit of insulation tape!

Ah, that explains why my 2015 hasn't got them. Thanks

Always known about US bikes having side reflectors..... but this is the first i've heard about UK bikes having to have them from this year.
