Reflective pin striping

[copper]

I did black stripes that reflect at night silver or white. Did a stripe just above the radiator openings and also two strips on the rear panel. Hard to see during the day but really look cool at night.

I also like that...where did you get the black striping?

...and ditto on the request for a picture of your back panels....

Nice job, & Thanks!

Thanks Stro... those accents look nice on the F6B. I think it is a PERFECT way to apply some reflective ability on this bike of ours, it certainly keeps the bike's clean lines represented in the dark. Really am digging how it loks on the side fairing. Am going to do the same thing; along with additional reflective tape on the saddle bags; where the matte silver meets the black lower portion of them Going to look a little later to see if that can even be further enhanced...

Thanks guys. I just ordered another roll as well to do the saddlebags. The break in colors on the matte silver should work good, hard to see during the day but a nice 'hey what's that' stripe at night. That B&W USA flag on the bottom back panel is reflective as well.

FWIW: Amazon has a 50' by 0.5" spool of this tape for $28.

I've ordered some more hi-reflect tape for the F6B to mirror what I did on my previous bike...it throws significant light back at the source. I had several people ask me if I had LED lights on while I was out at night.

Here is what it looked like with just the wheels done sitting in the driveway.

On Amazon, it can be found using search "High Intensity Reflective tape". If you clean the area of install very well, use Isopropyl Alcohol in the areas you are going to apply it to, you should have no problem getting this stuff to stay on. My NM4 held it's wheel tape for over a year before I sold it, and the current owner still has it installed.

I'd like that rim tape if it was black, and blended in with the black of the stock wheel paint, but I haven't seen it in black yet.

I used the Stripe-it-all red tape for my stock M109r, but it was not a great match for the stock Candy red of the M109.

Did the saddlebags this weekend.

1/4" x 50' ....so I'll have enough to 'experiment" elsewhere on the bike...

My roll arrived yesterday.
Going to go play with it, copying Stro's work on the back and saddlebags, and adding possibly under the radiator just above the cylinder heads and those two down strips in the front of the radiator shroud.

Pics after I git 'er done.
Cheers,
