|  Good way to add a little flash to my all black gear? I've bought all black stuff... black helmet, black leather gloves, and black leather jacket as far as gear goes. I'm not a fan of the flashy textile jackets popular with the sportbike folks, but I do recognize I should do something to make myself stand out a bit to the cagers. I guess I should have gotten a silver helmet, but alas, black is what I have. Any ideas as to a way to brighten up my profile with some reflective or silver trim? I don't think wearing a blaze orange vest is in my future either. Looking for something tasteful... I know, I know it isn't a fashion show, but I would like to not look like too much of a fool. Thanks! |

 | Reflective tape. They also make that reflective tape in small strips as to where you can make a design or just outline your helmet. Go to a sign and safety logo store and check out what they have. My friend just put a bunch of Firefighter stuff on his bike,, stands out when the light hits it at night like a mini-firetruck.

| cool, you could get black decals and they'd only show up at night.

| yeah i bought the same black flame helmet decals about 2 yrs. ago, they're reflective silver when light shines on it at nite...a good way to get noticed by other vehicles on the road. Another thing to consider is a reflective helmet band that goes on easily to the lower part of the helmet (assuming you have a full face one) i think jpcycles has em.

| Three easy steps: 1. Date a super model. 2. Have her wear a gold glittery slinky dress (I think they come standard with these...) 3. Put her on the back of your bike! Done!
