Help needed on correct reflector for balloon tire jaguar

[Jim sciano]

Does anyone know what the correct reflector should be on a balloon tire 54-55 Schwinn Jaguar. Any info is appreciated. Thanks

@Pantmaker is the only one I know of off hand that has an unmolested complete 54 Jag. Maybe he'll chime in with the info.

I wonder if it's the same 1 3/4" piece that was used on the new 55 middleweights.

That would be awesome. Trying to get mine as correct as possible. Thanks

Indeed that reflector might be it but, the diamond or triangular pattern in it might be smaller than that on Pantmaker's Nov. 1953 (1954 issue) ballooner. Hard to say for sure but, In his side view, the triangular, zig-zag reflection appears as if the pattern size of triangles are larger.

Yet it may also be as close as you can get.

Thank you for all the help and effort. I’m down to the reflector and seat and mine should be original except for cables and typhoon tires. The monsoons just don’t exist.

Here's the reflector that's on mine guys.

Thank you very much for spending the time and effort to show me. Much appreciated. Thanks

Jim, I might have another one for your bike. I'll poke around tonight in the shop for it.
