Reflective..... Tron anyone ?

[pbureau69]

Well I got my blue, white and black reflective tapes from http://www.streetglow.net/ and I am very happy.

here are the results.

1) before picture



2) after taping




a look at it in the middle of the night




of course, new scorpion helmet, needed some treatment in reflectivness





Tips, comments or pictures of your own reflective job ?
for the record the blue lines of tape are almost a perfect match to the paint and the white reflectivemnes you see on the rear arm, rear V shape anchor, and front spoiler are actually black on day time vision....

wow!!

kinda reminds me of a tv series aired when I was a child..."Automan"...anyone remember??

Unfortunately I was too young when Tron was released...so I have almost no comparison terms...

automan. ya, that was a cool show. 'cursor' was the coolest bot ever. the electronic stuff he could do was awesome.

iirc the guy that played the main character has had several B shows since then. i can't recall his name, and won't rely on google for something i should remember.

YOUR bike looks cool too. I'm surprised to type this but you really should do it up more. Really. Lots more tape, and a LED kit to really brighten it up.

funny my wife said I should get a japanese led light kit to get lights shining on the wheels front and back.... I though she was trying to be funny.....

As far as I can remember, Automan featured Chuck Wagner as main actor and Desi Arnaz,jr. as co-protagonist...
Not to mention his fictional car (Lamborghini Countach which had no notion of gradual cornering at all )
But IMHO the cooooolest robot of all times (in TV shows,at least) was Knight Rider's KITT 2000...we kids would just drool on the good old black Trans-Am

Sweet childhood memories...

Yeah dude, you gotta get some LEDs, and then you gotta get a chrome windscreen, and then you gotta lower it and get some custom flame stickers too, and then you gotta get an exhaust! As loud a one as possible! Noise!

[pbureau69]

your request is being fulfilled ..

Well i can tell you with certain assertiveness that cars can SEE me on the road. had my wife follow me one night, and she said she could see my reflective tape before she could see the old oem tailight (now changed to LED) from about 1/4 mile away.

I know that not many cars stick behind me, seems the tape is reflective enough that it annoyes the driver behind me. most dont stay behind for very long, even on busy highway, people tend to stay back/change lane. which is what I like.

So very cool, I have to get some myself.
