For those that used the 3M tape how about some pictures for ideas because, I’m to fat and lazy to take off the reflectors on my ride but I may do it if the tape looks good enough for my time.

Because they look tacky and cheap and are just another example of the government telling us whats good for us.

On a different note.......if you want to avoid collisions, slow down. Every near death experience (ok, 95% of them) Ive had on motorcycle was a direct result of me driving too fast.

Y'all are hilarious with some of your answers.. Lol.. I was literally just asking a question of why. Either way... I'm ordering Leds and putting on... Specifically in the engine cradle if both my bikes. My previous NRS had them and these will too... Might even remove my reflectors now lol
