3M reflective tape

I found this link at webbikeworld and its a photo group , impressive, shows how much this tape reflects. I'm gonna buy myself a roll and put it on my front forks and helmet.

3M tape is cheap and works. No one will follow me with bright lights at night b/c they get too much light reflected back.

The Vstrom will be getting new tape later on when I get ambitious. Red for the back and yellow for the sides and front of the bags. Considering how cheap 3M tape is at WallyWorld you could change colors once a month for amusement.

Red for surfaces facing to the rear, yellow for the sides and white/silver facing the front. Helmets like tape too. Make a spectacle of yourself. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

I would well imagine it is against the law to have a white reflector on the rear in most areas if the LEO's want to enforce it. Walk around any car on the street and check the factory mandated colors of lenses. Only a back-up light can be clear or white. I may be comparing apples to orange though. Reflectors are not really lights. Any color is good if it gets noticed but pink is out.
