Reflective livery

[tycham]

I have been researching accident (at my age you don't recover as quickly  ) and am thinking about European police type reflective tape on both my ST and my Connie. I am attaching example that I am going to use on the ST (red bike) but will probably use red and hi vis yellow on the silver Connie.

Good Idea, I think it's different , for here in the U.S.  I did this on my 06 Connie and was looking at the same style on my 09. All very reflective tape. I was noticed from the side profile at night very well.  Be interesting to see what it would look like.







and from the rear my 09

I like that. Is it individual pieces of tape or a sheet in that pattern?  I am doing chevrons on the back as the break up the profile a little more

Yes it was all separate pieces. I cut.

I like the understated look better.  I use black reflective pin striping on my Diablo black 09.  It's not visible during the day unless you look really closely.  However, at night, headlights really set it off.  I also put some of the red reflective striping tape on the wheels. :beerchug:

Beware off brand tapes as sold at giant box concerns. Their reflective properties can be less than stellar.

3M makes a good line. SOLAS being the brightest.

Despite the web site look, these folks have done right by me.

Yup.  I used 3M 79902.   :great:  For the wheel tape I used a local German brand.
