Has anyone ever tried these reflectors on their colorflow tank?

[Brutuskend]

These are being sold on Ebay and it say's they will work on colorflow tanks and racks. I'm missing 4 for my Colorflow and I am thinking of giving these a try. Anyone tried these?

I'm assuming the reflectors don't come with the bezles however? Anyone know where to get those?

I don't have a color-flow type tank, but have seen these bezels from a bicycle bones online.

They would seem to fit a simple (small) through-hole installation method; but the color-flow may have custom (larger) cut-outs in the sheet metal? The other online red jewels have a much rounder cup, and in opposite orientation; not sure if it helps or gets in the way.

These are for the rack

Dosn't the rack and tank use the same setup?

Same reflector but not the same bezel. The tank has a hole with a flared bezel with a round edge that is not made to come out. The first bikes just had the bezels in the tank without a reflector in it, just reflectors in the rack with the flat bezel. The tank bezel looked like a intake port on a car fender back in the 50's. Later models they just drilled a hole in the center of the bezel to screw the reflector in.
