It’s the heavy-duty “engineer-grade”, 7 mil (0.007″ thick), seven year, black reflective tape. These range from the SOLAS (Safety of Life at Sea) grade, used in the marine environment, to various levels and colors of retro-reflective tapes, fabrics, stickers and even reflective paint, used in or on clothing and other gear.Īfter searching for the product, I found a CycleGadgets ad for a vinyl reflective tape kit in black.Īlthough I’ve never purchased any of their products, CycleGadgets is well known in the motorcycling community as a purveyor of interesting products, including including auxiliary lighting, GPS units, mounting brackets, rider comfort, communications and much more.ģM Scotchlite reflective tape is available in white and black, but CycleGadgets sells only the black version. I read about 3M Scotchlite reflective tape in advertisements in several motorcycle magazines.Īlthough I never had the occasion to use it until now, I always kept it in the back of my mind as something I might want to use some day.ģM’s “Scotchlite” brand characterizes a family of reflective materials. My reasons for performing the improvements are detailed in Part 1: Installing Hyper-Lites. The installation of the 3M Scotchlite reflective tape kit is the second part of an overall plan to increase the visibility of my new 2006 Yamaha FJR1300 from the rear.
