Instead it's sold by a separate store that lists things on Amazon. I know at least one dealer has short strips for helmets, but I was thinking of using larger pieces on the actual bike.
Also, has anyone had experience with the sew-on reflective fabric? Does it work well? Does the 'sewing on' part damage the equipment?(ie: would it hinder waterproofing or other things? I remember reading that sewing patches onto jackets made them no longer waterproof)
Thanks!
IMHO, if you're looking to increase your visibility at night get a Helmet Halo. It puts the reflective material up high, where it's most easily noticed by other drivers.
Has anyone got a source for that reflective tape that is pretty much black in normal light? I want to put some reflectors on my jacket but don't really want to change the look of the leather that much.

The stuff you are talking about is "retroreflective" material.
Do a search for various retroreflective products. totalmotorcycle did an article on streetglo.net a while back, as a company that sells reflective tape/stickers, etc.
Thanks very much, I'm looking into getting some 3M Scotchlite material soon now!
