JJtheGUNMAN Posted May 23, 2012 Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 Hey all, just started brainstorming how I could add some reflective tape to the back of my motorcycle jacket to make it more functional and this is what I came up with. I was proud of it and thought I'd share. Enjoy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJtheGUNMAN Posted May 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 Pretty neato! Nice work. Wanna make me a panda? lolHahaha That's funny. I bet I could though. I KNOW I've seen black reflective tape somewhere in town. Is this a real desire you have? hahaha, to have a reflective panda on your jacket?

JJtheGUNMAN Posted May 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 If so, if I were properly taken care of, then the service could be available...depending on your jacket. I did this on MY jacket because it has a hard plastic type shell on the back for falls; Which the adhesive sticks to very well. Unless you have something like that, I don't think I could do that.

Tony blaze Posted May 23, 2012 Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 Ok, I looked at this right after I ate a corned beef monster sandwich and thought you had somehow lights in the jacket. I need to go lay down for awhile. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a plain ole reflector tape mod with some flare Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagr Posted May 24, 2012 Report Share Posted May 24, 2012 I saw this on FB and thought you hooked up LEDs. It's just reflective tape? Where did you procure said tape? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJtheGUNMAN Posted May 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 I saw this on FB and thought you hooked up LEDs. It's just reflective tape? Where did you procure said tape?Lowes. I'm sure Home Depot has it too. I found it near the mail boxes/reflectors and all that ish. There were (2) 6" strips of red and (2) 6" strips of white for either $1.98 or $2.98. Cut the material myself. Although I may be revamping this idea and putting it on the back of my helmet as well as some short pieces on my tail section as I had someone tell me yesterday that when a car is coming right at them and I am in front of them, I disappear in the headlights almost completely at night. Also that at night my black leather jacket blends in perfectly with a dark vehicle in front of me and my low pro fender eliminator tail lights make it look like the vehicle in front of me has brake lights that have been modded to be in the center. Thinking about buying a decently large reflector patch for the back center of my jacket too. I want to be seen! Function > Form Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
