I does refect - but its a kind of gunmetal grey reflection.

They say its the worst reflecting of the lot.

But as I see it, I could go with normal black vinyl and get zero reflective benefit or use the scotchlite - worst case is still the same

Will try and capture the reflectivity - must get someone to park nose-to-nose at about 6 to 10 feet and take a pic from their bike

Usually the reflective tapes will show up under flash photography... WHich is one of the reasons I don't like it

Well in my quest for new-paint, I have managed to track down much of what I need to start on the painting - YAY!!!

Some of this is a set of spare rear plastics (Thanks to Lairylarry).

So, for a laugh I bunged them on the SV - made it go all NSR/CBR....

I love the NSvR look.

I was comtemplating trying to sell my plastics and replace them with cheap damaged parts. Just to try and squeeze some money out of the bike. Figured I'd get too little to make it worth the hassle.

I'm looking forward to seeing how your project develops SoulKiss.
