Yes. These are the same bolts that hold a vehicle's license plate in place. If you're worried about the threads coming loose, put a drop of Loctite on them before adding the reflectors to the top of the bolt.
4 reflectors in a pack Four reflectors can be had for $6.
These were used to secure the rear plate of a motorcycle.
About a half inch sticks out, if my memory serves me correctly.

They're a little thick, but that's probably due to the reflective facets. The butterfly nuts have springs to add tension. br>I'm grateful to my bike's previous owner for having them on and introducing me to them. Now I've installed them on my other vehicle, using red and blue to keep potential tailgaters guessing.
I'm not sure what to make of the bed reviews. I've been putting in a lot of miles off-road. They held the license plate on my 250l in place for about 5 times and it hasn't come off yet. I even managed to fall off the bike a couple of times. For the money, this is a good buy. However, make certain that your registration stickers are placed in the correct location. If you have them on the top of your plate, they almost completely block the numbers.
My aftermarket rear tail light was not reflective, so I was pulled over the other day. In California, you must have a reflector on or around your rear license plate, which I assume is built into the taillight assemblies of all vehicles sold in the state. And, as far as I can tell, these tiny reflective knobbies are the only option available- So, even though they look terrible on the bike, I give them five stars.
Most sports bikes have large stock reflectors, so this is a great mini replacement for them. M5 threads are a direct replacement for most bikes, so I chose blue to match my bike and ditched the huge yellow and red disks that came standard. Because the stems were too long, I cut them in half with a hacksaw after removing the wing nut, washer, and spring. Then I hand-tightened them without the other hardware, using a small thread lock. The bike now has a much more appealing appearance. For about $7, this is a fantastic upgrade. My bike is a 2009 Kawasaki Versys 650, by the way.
If you are strong and not paying attention, the reflector portion will snap off. a breeze They can, however, be glued back together just as easily. I've already snapped three of them and had to glue them back together. Long bolts for motorcycle license plates are also available. Otherwise, they function as expected and adhere to the reflector laws, so that's about it.
I can't use the through bolt on my Harley because it's too long. While I could certainly reduce that, the wingnut design is also larger than necessary, and installing it without scratching my bike's rear fender is extremely difficult, so this was a no-go for me. I could shorten the bolt and replace the nut and lock washer, but it's not worth the effort.
I want people to be able to see me at all hours of the day and night. I was about to go out and buy a few more packs when I realized what had happened. I only had to pay $2. Back in April of this year, they were only 65 cents per pack, but now they're $7. Per pack, there are four of these. After all, I guess I'm not going to buy any more. I don't have a strong desire for them.
The license plate retainers with reflectors were exactly what you'd expect. I needed them for my motorcycle, which had all of the OEM rear fender/lights removed and needed to pass state inspection, so I replaced the big bulky OEM reflector with these. There are four packs in total, which is enough for both of my bikes.
