If they truly do have that effect at night, I'd def go with the reflective set! :thumbup:

PS: I think the pic that you posted looks awesome with the mathcing rim tape... :2cents:

That looks killer, just to let you know if you plane on installing this kind of stuff yourself and you have not done this before it is a lot harder then their video shows and for the price it would be well worth going down to a good graphics shop to have them install it for you just my 2C

It looks incredible!! I got my reflective vinyl from them and it was easy to install plus the service was great!!

I hope you get the reflective one, it really stands out and will help you visibility-wise!! :2cents:

Just been working out the placement of the tapeworks kit 5511 - Generic Lightning in reflective black.

And boy does it take time and a lot of masking tape. This has been the hardest mod to do out of all of them - the combinations are endless. The amount of times I thought I'd got something right to find that 5 minutes further down the line I was pulling it off to rearrange all over again.

Here's a quick preview with the front and back cover layers still on as I've just finished working out where it's all gonna go. It'll look alot better once it's been stuck on for good :D
The reflective black really matches the black on the bike well so it should be invisible during the day and then at night, she comes alive!
The kit comes in two sheets a left side and a right side, this is how I used the right side sheet

Wow. The flames look fantastic!

And the lightning? With the tape on the rims? In-freaking-credible!

Thanks :)

The Kanji and the italic racing are from www.awesomegraphics.co.uk
They have a bunch of kawasaki decals, though I would not recommend their rim tape, It doesn't fit our wheels - for rim tape you really want the type which comes with the 3M applicator

This mod takes time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and then some more time!! Managed to get 4 pieces permanently on so far.
To get 1 side starting and finishing in the same place as the other side is not easy!
But a massive :thumbup: to Tapeworks, this kit is awesome. Quality, packaging, instructions, everything!!
I highly recommend them

lmao that lighting looks so good at night, however i dont like the look in daylight because you can hardly see it but still know its there... but is going to look sweet when your done...do they make clear at daylight, reflective at night?..so it looks clear and see through but is reflective?

ninjablk08 looks like great minds think alike! And I thought I would be the first to post this mod haha. Still looking for my black 08 but best believe I am getting the reflective. Thought it would help to get the reflective matching flame kit for the helmet as well. I won't divulge the rest of my mods with aftermarket parts and powdercoating because this is already too much alike lol! Anyways let me know how it turns out when you finish it all though.

I would like to see some day photos to show what it looks like without headlights, etc.
Sure looks like it would add a lot of visibility at night, though....
