Hey everyone,

I dont know if anyone wanted to check out the small upgrade I did, but I like it so Ill post. Sorry about phone camera though...  Enjoy!









ohgood

The 3M is a great idea. I'm sure it looks great at night with just a little light on it. Since your digital cameras always blow out anything reflecting... what color are the letters and stripes ?

I noticed not long after moving here the sheriff cars have brown stripping, but it's 3M and still reflects like crazy at night. I hadn't realized a darker color like brown/black could reflect so much light at night. Riding home one night I also noticed a guy had lined his entire hugger with 3M RED tape (or maybe they make paint now ?) and  everything under his undertail. The effect was very hard to miss.

The -only- bad thing about putting more lights/3m/whatever bright stuff on something is it apparently draws drunks to it. Everyone else can make it by. The drunks seem to gravitate. :(

Nice looking mod !  :thumb:

The color is red. I put the red stripes on the wheels and thought the writing would  look cool in red too. Ill find out in a few hours because its looking real nice out. Thanks for the compliments.

Mine is from Avery, but I am assuming its the same as 3m tape. I put a piece of paper over the suzuki and went over the letters with a pencil over and over till i made an outline on the paper. I cut the "stencils" out and cut them on the reflective tape paper. I tried to fit a sv600 headlight in my bike today, but the bolts for the buell turnsignals didnt fit so I will have to wait for another day. The bike looks amazing!
