Real Time side bag reflective tape set - arrived and installed!

[dras]

I've got the Realtime Industries version and applied them dry. There was no mention of a wet procedure in the instructions with mine. Besides they're "self-adhesive".

[Elfmaze]

I put mine on last night.  gently laying them on the surface allowed me some gentle adjusting before pressing it down.  Creepy cool material.  Completely black in normal lighting but turn the lights down and it shines the light brightly back at the source.   Pictures always look the brightest because the flash is right next to the sensor. 

I have found that the distance between the light source and my eyeball greatly effects the return.  I am looking forward to parking it down the driveway and pointing my car at it though.

These are great, even had a HD rider pull up one night and commment on how visible the bike was.

Arrived today! 
 
Install was very easy, I installed them dry, no need to do a wet install and worry about bubbles, these are very thick and on the textured plastics where they stick bubbles wont happen, just rub them down with your thumb.
 
Here's some pics...

I was wanting to order these before, but now I think i'll definitely have to do it.  Those really do look good!

And just think of the night time speed he picked up

Yeah, that silver reflection really helps

I am considering doing this too, except I would not put on the sides, since that would cover my silver paint.  Too bad they don't sell a "just rear rectangles" set.

I think that I'm going to have to order me some of these now.

The panels look big enough you could cut an insignia or personal message in them.

[maxtog]

I contacted them and asked if I could just get the rear rectangles, since I don't want to cover the paint nor top.  They said yes and I am waiting for more info to come tomorrow.  So far, having a very positive experience.

I must be missing something, where do these cover the paint?

Hey ZG,

Since they're silver (at least when reflecting), do they make your bike faster?

At this point, with SO much black on his bike, the increased in speed from a small amount of silver will be hard to notice.

Maybe between the black and the silver it'll set up a vibratory oscillation and cause it to warp to another dimension.

I believe a warp drive is the next farkle on ZG's list.

Hmmm, that could help. Dilithium crystals are kinda silverish.



The problem. as Gary pointed out, with all that black, a vibratory oscillation could show up in these crystals and the result of that could be a disaster.

I put them on my bike shortly after I got it. People driving behind me at night tell me I am lit up like a christmas tree. During the day you can hardly notice them.
