I found a place that has a wide selection of reflective tape. I usually cover the rear of my side cases and the top case with the black stuff that turns white at night. works really wellhttp://www.reflectivelyyours.com/generic117.html

I've had good luck with these guys

http://www.reflectivedecals.com/

I've bought several sets of the helmet decals and they work great and hold up well. On the saddlebag decal site they offer custom fit decals for several brands of saddlebags. Right after I got the Uly I emailed them and proposed that if they sold a set custom cut for the uly factory bags they might get lots of orders. They said they'd look into it and get back to me. I'm still waiting.........

Anyway - they still make a good product - I may get the blank sheets

I keep a roll of the 3M retro reflective tape here and splatter it liberally on bikes. If done right it's pretty much invisible during the day but is highly visible at night.

I get the rolls from the local utility that uses it to make trucks reflective. I also carry a couple 12" stripe in my tank bag for "field use" should I ever get caught riding in unexpected conditions at night or low viz.

Greta stuff. I see those guys also sell the DO NOT REMOVE HELMET stickers. I used to carry a bunch with me and that's another GREAT idea.

Court - that 3M stuff is phenomenal but very expensive.

No problem, I get the "roll ends" leftover from work. Drop me your address and I'll send you a 6" piece that should work very well.

No place teaches defensive riding like NEW YORK CITY.

These people have some good stuff.

I used the reflective gold on mine, stripe right down the middle and I used their lightning bolt for my helmet.
