Black reflective tape

I ordered some black reflective tape last week. For under $10 ( I think) I got enough to do both sides and the rear.

Here is the bike with it on in the sunlight. Even when right up next to it you would never see it.




And here it is in the parking garage in the dark.

Black reflective tape

Yeah, found some awhile back. Put it on my black leather bags (800B) and a strip across the back of my black leather jacket, hard to see in the daylight alright. Doesn't stick to leather so good but haven't tried it on paint, good idea. My silver reflective tape works well on silver painted and chrome surfaces, if you want to mess with those.

Black reflective tape

I've got some silver, just haven't taken the time to put any on the bike yet.

On my other Nomads, the only place that I found to put the silver where nobody would ever see it was on the floor board edges.

There is a lot more places to put black.

Black reflective tape

I've got some riding pants like that. Black, with black piping that lights up at night.

They work, but my boss said I look like a gay Nazi wearing them when they lit up in a flash photo.
(Yikes! He's right too. ::) )

Hey Cadd; with the built in kneepads on those pants, you should wear them when your asking for a raise at work. He already said you look gay.

Black reflective tape

I bought some silver reflective tape and I wrapped the saddlebag brace that runs under the rear fender. Cages really light it up at night.

Thanks Dan for the lead,
Ordered some today. For $13 I thought I'd give it a shot. Always looking for more visability.
