3M Reflective tape; looks good!

#1 Unread post by c-los »

I Did what someone else on this forum did and put reflective tape on my jacket and helmet. The tape on the jacket is bound to come off, does anyone have any experience making tape stick to leather better?
Well, here are the pics...

You could look into buying some retroflective material and having a leather shop sew it in for you. Probably won't be the cheapest thing in the world, but it will stay on.

I'll bet you are a lot more visible at night, now. Just don't think it will change your invisible status with cagers. :frusty:

Sewing it on is the only way i can think of that doesn't involve super-glue...
Don't give up.

Not now, not soon, not after being continually knocked down.

If you never give up, you can never truly fail.
