Maybe POLITE INTERJECTOR on the sides!

I don't think they have Battenburg markings like those here in the US... I'll just say I'm trying to be more visible so that they don't have to come write up a report if someone runs into me because they claim they can't see me.

I do know that impersonating a police vehicle will get you fined... but I've never seen a local police vehicle with Battenburg markings, so they shouldn't be able to say I'm impersonating one... If anything, I'd be helping them by having folks slow down if they thought I was on a police bike...

Maybe instead of making Battenburg markings, I could just outline the panels all in fluorescent yellow and add a few random squiggles to make it look like it's from Tron... That MIGHT be easier than trying to do the Battenburg, and probably would look better at night.

You can buy reflective sheets in various colours, red, blue, green, white, yellow and black. I have A4 sheets which I can cut with a vinyl plotter. I get my supplies from ebay.
If you want to be seen during daylight hours then reflective materials aren't much use, you need fluorescent colours for that. On my scooter I have red (rear facing) and yellow (side facing) fluorescent patches. Again purchased on ebay.

The sheets I buy are five year vinyl quality so not much chance of them fading before I come up with another scheme.

Cheers,

Didn't consider that -- thanks! I might get a red merlion symbol for the back (I am originally from Singapore). There's a company that does custom reflective decals (but of course the link is floating somewhere in my email and I have to go look for it). I'll probably just do something simple but fluorescent along the sides. Maybe the POLITE INTERJECTOR on either side in fluorescent yellow if I can find a place that can do it in custom fluorescent tape cos I really don't wanna have to cut it out myself.

Dude! You KNOW about roti prata and curry and nasi lemak and laksa. Brother, you are all that much more cool to me now, heehee... My fantasy would be to live and ride and work here but go back to Singapore to eat. I miss all the stuff you just mentioned (well, not the chicken rice; my family loves it but I'm a laksa and satay fiend).

I'm wondering if that custom guy can make the letters in fluorescent decals, not just reflective...

Speaking of going off topic, Sweeney, r u gonna come join us at the MidAtlantic Rally this weekend?

Okay, back to topic. Has anyone found if the heat from the exhaust will affect the adhesiveness of any tape on the right side?
