Well after a ride home in the dark with my wife following me, i had my riding jacket on, which has reflective lines and a reflective triangle on it.... My wife said she couldnt see me at all, she said all she could see was the tail light and a reflective line... So i will be ordering some stickers/ pinstriping from street glow... something for my helmet, and the bike, its not expensive stuff, so ill put it on and see if i like how it looks, just sharing the site, they have alot of good stuff. I dont do that much night riding, but i want to be seen when i am riding at night... but im not sure if i will like how it will look, depending on how i do it.. i wont be surprised if i finish it and dont like it and then take it all off.. for 8$ its worth a try, but i am for sure getting a big reflective sticker for my helmet.

 

I've had reflecting stickers on my helmet for quite a few years, but your post got me wondering what it looked like, so I took a couple photos.

Here's what it look's like in the light:

 

And here's what it looks like in the dark, using a dinkly little flashlight to illuminate it:



I hardly ride at all at night, but felt better knowing that I did a little something extra to increase my visibility. I had similar stickers on my KLR (both white and red ones), but haven't put anything on my KLX ... yet!

I ride to work before the sun is up in the morning and I like to head out on my weekend trips as early as I can. That's before the sun comes up if I can get out of the house early enough.

I've always been a big fan of reflector tape on any street bike that I've owned. My friends say it makes my bike look geeky or dorky, but I really don't care if it will help me be seen by the early morning driver sipping their coffee or talking on their cell phone.

At work, and the sun is just coming up.


Stay Safe,
