Title: First Gear reflective tapes
Post by: Stig / Major Tom on May 13, 2019, 09:17:49 PM

Took this poor quality photo from rather a long distance on December‎ ‎28‎, ‎2013 7:06 AM.
Camera flashed.....
Look at the reflective strips that First Gear puts all over their mesh jacket!
Hardly notice them in the daylight.

I started putting nickel sized yellow hiviz stick-on reflector tabs on my helmet after seeing this photo.

I just put some red and white reflective tape on the new all black HJC helmet. Same 3M tape they put on big trailers.

Yeah, that 3M stuff is great.
I pinstriped a bit of the side of the Burman with it -  just a little strip - but boy did it light up at night!

love the extra reflectivity!  I added reflective stripes to my helmet, make sure my jackets and pants have reflective parts, even added reflective rim tape and red stripes to my scooter...and I don't even ride at night!
