It's interesting, I wonder how many of the opinions....which said...take them off...because it really doesnt make your bike safer because you cant be seen any better ????? In another thread....I think they said...put on those loud pipes because it makes your bike safer....If those loud pipes are going to make you safer because now they can hear you better...then those reflectors are going to make you safer because they can see you better.

Those relectors make youmore visablerather you like the look or not.....If you dont think so...I bet you wouldnt put one on your back and wear it around Iraq in the middle of the night....

Why don't you just take them off and then wear reflective clothing?

I appreciate a good argument, and this fits the description.
