What does the reflective set look like? I'm trying to imagine where 6 pieces go...
All face towards the back:
One on outer lid.
One below turn signal.
One above turn signal.

Repeat on other bag.

OK.  Here's a similar decal on my bike a few years ago.

I gotta get one for the C-14

Thanks for all the support!

I make the KMWs from individually cut pieces of solid color vinyl- the same stuff I use on squad cars and taxis.  I (or my my wife) layer them by hand to make the graphic.  The other guys use a machine that prints color onto white vinyl much the same way your printer prints on paper.  The result is a nice looking graphic that will sun fade over time.  They can make more complex designs quickly and very cheaply.

My KMWs are $5 each and shipping is $2 no matter how many you'd like.  I can be paypal'd at b r a d e s l e r @ y a h o o . c o m (the spaces need to be removed).

I don't make much money doing these, but I enjoy how people like them.  My stuff can be seen at the Nationals every year.  As mentioned I also make a 6 piece rear bag reflective sets for the Classic Connie for $20 (+ $3 shipping).  They are black in the daytime and lights up white at night.  Since the Connie is a stretched Ninja I made up some "NinjaXL" graphics for $6 each.

I will add a C14 rear bag reflective set if someone wants to loan me their bags for a couple of hours for a pattern.  You will get a free set or two!  I am in Superior WI, 3 miles for Aerostich.

Thanks again!
Do you have any pics of these graphics?

 ;D Ron are you refering to the lights which take the place of the reflectors?  They are LEDs amber in color and I wired them in so they work as side markers and flash alternately with the blinkers.  Does that answer your question?   :o

Here's mine, just don't forget some extra decals, so they have to "look" for them.

Other than pm'ing spd2918, does anyone know how to get in touch with him? I have sent some pm's but it doesn't look as though he frequents this forum.

pm's bounce to my email, so I get 'em right away.   ;D

I have KMW's and NinjaXL's for $5 each and shipping is $2 no matter how much you want.

I have Classic Connie 6 piece rear bag reflectives for $23 delivered.  They are black in the daytime and silver-white when lights strike them at night.  I will do a free set to the first C14 owner that leaves his bike with me for a few hours in the Duluth MN area (I need to make a pattern).

I can be paypal'd at bradesler@yahoo.com or snail mailed a regular old check to:
