NEED A REFLECTOR

I have heard several reports recently of riders being pulled over, and had their bike and papers inspected. The reason given for the pull-over, is that "they had no rear reflector on their bike".

Many people who rebuild their bikes neglect to replace the rear reflector....and yet the law requires one.
(a) Every vehicle shall be equipped with at least one reflector
so maintained as to be plainly visible at night from all distanceswithin 350 to 100 feet from the vehicle when directly in front of the lawful upper headlamp beams.So
the law ( CVC24607 ) does not say how big it must be, just has to be seen from 350 to 100 feet.
JUST SO YA KNOW !
