Well either way I appreciate it. You vets need to take it easy on the newbs. Seriously thanks though.

 

Patience young padawan...


Not all of us can check the forum from work.

Ebay sells reflective pinstriping tape (and graphics kits) that work great.
If you get them in black they will be invisible during the day, and shine right back at others at night. (I'll get some pics from mine, and the linklater)

Adding reflective materials to your helmet will help as well,


ICON also makes a "Mil Spec" reflective vest in neon yellow, or orange that doesn't look too bad either.


But if you want to keep the "blacked out" look durring the day, the black reflective tape is your best bet (It is a beatch to find locally, but streetglo sells it online and on ebay, where I got mine)

And sixhundredrr is right;
you can find the reflective stuff at Walmart,(either the automotive section or the hardware section) but usually they just carry white or red reflective although six: your grammar made it a little difficult to understand what you were saying.[8D]

 

at night just get one of those reflective running belts and put it over your shoulder

 

if you want your bike to stay as-is for the appearance, there is this for your clothes:

there is also the tape for your helmet too (which is the same i think as the tape for the bike, that is black in the daytime and illuminates when hit with headlights or flashlights in the dark)

 

well yeah if you want to squid it up.

how about xmas tree lights duct taped to the fairings

 

^^ Thanks for blowing the lid right off my new, ground-breaking idea!

Medders: If you want to be seen, black really wasn't the best way to go.

If you want to be seen headlamp wise, get an HID retrofit kit. This helps you see, as well as be seen. If you want others to see you better, I would suggest installing some modest side-markers onto your bike. They really don't make these, but if you use your imagination, search around for LED light bars and such, you can find stuff to make some custom side-markers out of.

Other than that, get gear that has "retroreflective" decals or striping on it. Or you could add your own using the reflective tape/pinstriping mentioned in above posts. And mostly, avoid dark colors. Black is the color of night, so if you want to be seen at night, the exact opposite color works well.

 

That's actually kinda cool. I don't like the design, but that is very cool.

 

I agree! I'm not a fan of taping a bike-up. The less decals and such, the better.
