Thanks but I would rather do some fabricating to make them permanent since they are evidently required. The inspector made a note on the record of the formal warning given and future requirement.
More reflectors
Our ‘16 came due for registration here in Delaware. We bought it new in April 2016. It also required inspection. I drive it through the inspection line and the inspector informs me it need’s additional red reflectors on the rear sides. I ask him how is that? It was purchased new. I have done some upgrades but none involved taking off any reflectors. He said he believes me but it is short reflectors. He “courtesy” passes it but notes on the record the requirement and tells me if the added reflectors are not there when I come back in two years, it fails.I tell him have a nice day and drive off.

This one lost them from delivery to showroom floor somewhere.I bought a new 16.5 with 3.7 miles on it from a guy who inadvertently bought it at a Red Cross charity auction. A fellow forum member trailered it to my house from Minneapolis. When he pulled into my driveway, one of the two rear reflectors was laying on the trailer deck. The other was nowhere to be found. I've only seen one original set in the wild. Polaris decided to make them a disposable part.
Thanks but our grandson will be in the middle of baseball season and when he isn’t playing the granddaughter is playing softball.Mick, If your going to SSITS I'll bring it with me.
Both are the same (which is good), just mounted in different locations.I have the right side one.
If you've replaced what I call the "stinger" the stock license plate mount with the more flush one you've removed the reflectors. That's the first mod I did on my '18.

Just came across mine, had them stowed in the basement. They are definitely left and right, not the same, at least on the 2016.5.Both are the same (which is good), just mounted in different locations.
OK I was able to have Polaris arrange for me to get these reflectors. They come with self tapping screws and are left and right. They do look ugly, just hung on when I just hold them on. I think I’ll leave them off until I need to go back through inspection in 2 years.If you look vlosely you will see them below tail lights.
