With Cortech saddlebags on my FZ6, the rear side reflectors are covered up. I'd like to have some better side visibility at night, so I need to add some reflectors to the sides (front and rear are fairly well covered with lights and reflectors).
First, I think I will get some sew-on reflective strips and put them on the sides of the saddlebags. I don't know why they didn't come with them, but they didn't. I can't seem to find it in any brick-and-mortar stores, so I'll have to order online.
I also bought a roll of automotive reflective tape. It reflects light really well, and the silver color looks nice. So far, I've cut out a few decals and put them on the sides of my givi top box.
Has anyone tried adding sticker reflectors to the bike itself? If so, where did you put them? I've got about another 2.5 feet of this sticker tape and I figure I should make good use of it. I may add some pin-striping to my helmet, since it is just black with a small amount of rear reflective stickers.
Also - has anyone tried the BLACK reflective tape/fabric? Supposedly it's black in normal light, but appears white and reflects light back when a headlight hits it. It doesn't reflect as well as the silver/white reflective tape, but I suspect it might work well for adding to my jacket or bike frame without making it look too silly.
