Neat idea. Invisible reflectors - it's a win!

I've ordered some similar 1" wide tape. Will run some down my fork legs and fender struts.

My leather jacket has some black piping on the seams that reflects is reflective when lights hit it. Another good idea.

It’ll be interesting to see how it holds up to the elements, especially rain with the abrasive road wash. Hopefully someone can update the thread with some info after some miles.

I'll update in a few weeks. I'm hoping it holds up... I honestly would be happy if it holds up for the season. I'd rather put a new set every spring then have the orange reflector. For the $20 I spent I can make at least 4 sets

yeah that's what i did also, I put a few strips on the helmet. It's a little bit more noticeable though because it's a matte black helmet but it still looks good
