Removing pannier reflector

Hey Kenward
Where did you get the set of Rivermarks?
Thanks
Mort

Hi Mort,

I'm the GM at Seminole PowerSports North in Eustis. They are Part number 56054-1557. They have double stick tape already on them. Take a rat tail file and clean up the drilled hole, so the surface is flat. I oriented mine perpendicular to the line on the bag. I then plugged the hole from the inside with a plastic plug and a little clear silicone. Neat, clean, and it looks like a factory application.

Kind regards,

Ken

Bike bandit has them for about $31 plus shipping.

Am I the only one who actually like those reflectors?

Yes:>}

Next up was the scary bit. I found you could slide the long edge of a knife between the reflector base and the pannier lid, and break it's adhesive ring loose.

I just removed mine. I didn't use a knife. Instead I used some dental floss to break the adhesive loose. Then I pushed on the stud from the back while slightly twisting the reflector. No risk of scratching the bag.

Here's another option for us poor souls in the U.S. who have a government "looking out for our safety". Buy a set of the H2 rivermarks and mount them in place of the reflectors. Looks factory and covers up the unsightly hole.

Any links to where to purchase a nice set of those badges?

Thanks!

It's a Kawasaki part so you could order from your dealer. I bought mine from Bike Bandit

BTW - you have the option of two different sizes:

the badge that's fixed to the nose fairing - Kawasaki Part # 56054-1557. That's the one (two) Kenward referred to. I used the same.
or
a smaller River Mark badge attached to the upper yoke - Kawasaki Part # 56054-1628

Thanks! I am really enjoying the H2SX community! Quick to respond and very tolerant of newbie questions!

Hopefully, I will be able to start contributing more instead of leaching!

The emblems look nice...maybe I will add later. For now a little black alan head bolt looks fine, you hardly notice it. When I have time I will buff out the circles left behind. Also removed the ugly reflectors on the forks.
