3M black reflective tape (pics)

LNasty · September 22nd, 2013, 08:25 PM

Bought some strips of 3M black reflective tape on Ebay and I am very pleased with it. Without headlights or flash hitting it, can barely tell its there (on black surface). I put some on helmet, under tail of bike and on backpack. Will definitely be more noticeable at night when cages come up behind me.

Without flash

Lol, I was wondering who rated it bad. With I would have known about this tape before. Have seen the bright yellow and green, but not the black.

NevadaWolf · September 22nd, 2013, 10:21 PM

That is sick! Can you get a pic of the undertail to show what that looks like?

Insan3guy · September 22nd, 2013, 10:28 PM

I've been looking around for something like this, I can't stand having bright white tape on an otherwise black surface.
Anybody have a link?

This is exactly what I ordered, there are others selling sheets of it, you can always cut out your own design

Here is under tail with flash, I tested it with my car headlights and it is just as bright

Have noticed that it doesn't have to be fully dark out for it to be effective either. Tested it with car lights when it was dusk and still light up

crazymadbastard · September 23rd, 2013, 06:54 AM

def gotta get some!

verboten1 · September 23rd, 2013, 07:04 AM

Nice, I used orange. my wife says it is crazy bright at night. This is also a 3M product. I think it is one of the best things to do to grab attention

LNasty · September 23rd, 2013, 07:30 AM

That looks good on the white

Numbersix · September 28th, 2013, 06:43 PM

The white works well on the bike. These are large so I'll just include links, not inline pictures.

That fixes problems of poor visibility, now if they'll just make something that fixes stupidity.

I think every biker shares that sentiment lol

Snake · October 3rd, 2013, 08:22 PM

That is some awesome stuff! That's better than running led's under the tail.

Lol, I was thinking about that. Or even hand giving middle finger but I thought might antagonize people. Since putting this on bike, helmet and back pack I have noticed people staying farther away from me now. I highly recommend this stuff. I will be putting a couple LED eagle eye light in the front to help be seen from the front a little more, will post pictures once I get those done

tfkrocks · October 4th, 2013, 02:37 AM

Just got some on ebay. I plan to put it on the back of my jacket.

salcuta88 · August 13th, 2014, 06:55 AM

Here's a good deal.

sharky nrk · August 13th, 2014, 09:02 AM

I just ordered some. For $5 I figure its well worth the cost/effort

flitecontrol · August 13th, 2014, 03:45 PM

These folks have the reflective black tape as well as many other colors, decals, reflective wheel rim tape, reflective gloves, etc. http://www.streetglo.net/ and I think their prices are cheaper too.

capt_bugaloo · August 13th, 2014, 07:35 PM

I ordered from that eBay seller as well. $5 for that black reflective tape, seems pretty reasonable to me.

Streetglo sells 112 inches for around $10. I bought from them and applied it liberally to two bikes and probably have enough to do two more.

salcuta88 · August 20th, 2014, 11:59 AM

Mine came in 2 days ago. Pleased with it. I have enough for the helmet and rear of bike.
