Colorflow/ Regal Deluxe Jewel Mystery

[Brian]

I am hoping some of you with much more experience than me can educate me on this. I was fortunate enough to save this bike last week and am really curious about the tank jewels. As you can see in photos, both sides have a different jewel in the same place. I am used to seeing the traditional glass jewels but the second one from front on both sides is different with also being flat on top. The rear jewels that are broken have the exact bezel as the “odd” jewel does. The bezels are a bit thinner when you look closely.
Does anyone know if this is factory or some type of replacement optional from back in that time period? If they are replacements then they are very old ones. Appears factory to me but,...?????

It looks like a small reflector that someone used as a subsitute jewel....but I'm no expert on these.

Looks like the squared off ones were just stuck there as replacements, I’m pretty positive they’re all supposed to look like the round ones. Cool bike by the way.

Yep all the squared off plastic ones are replacements. They should all be round glass. Here's mine. V/r Shawn

Nice bike!
Do you think these replacements are from that era? Never seen this jewel as a replacement on any colorflow I’ve seen pics of. Even the bezel is attached the same as the original jewels. Not rigged in any way

Yes both of mine have the round not squared.

These plastic reflectors are not replacements for these jewels. These are aftermarket reflectors that could be used on fenders, mudflaps, etc... V/r Shawn
