BrianM Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 Just got a set of Bumot cases for my GSA. Want to add reflectors to side and back of cases. Picked up reflectors at local store, they are junk. Use reflectors or reflective tape? What brands are best? Link to comment
ltljohn Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 Look for something that is Safety of Life At Sea (SOLAS) grade It is awesome. Link to comment

tallman Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 I used combo of FB's black, shine white and retroreflective stickers on rear/side of saddlebags with a retroreflective tape strip. Added SOLAS tape in rear topcase reflectors that increased the visibility even more. Front multiple lights. ATGATT with retroreflective vest/gloves and also on jackets/pants. Link to comment
JR356 Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 I have the Motoreflective on Globescout cases on my 14 GSA,recommended! Several other options in the vendor section over on ADVRider.com JR356 Link to comment
OoPEZoO Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Another vote for SOLAS. That stuff is amazing. I bought a few rolls of tape to add reflective strips to my bags and my helmet. It doesn't look like much until I pull up to the open garage door in my car and the tape on the back of my bike lights up like a neon sign. It used to be stupid expensive, but you can buy whole roles of it off amazon now for pretty cheap. Link to comment
marcopolo Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 (edited) I have MotoReflective black (shine white) "tape" on my OEM GSA cases (side cases and top case). After a recent recall campaign, the side cases also have red reflectors on the sides of the cases, as do the racks themselves. Edited October 22, 2018 by marcopolo Link to comment
elkroeger Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 All good advice. That SOLAS stuff is awesome, but be careful when affixing it. Designed for rusty, greasy marine applications, the adhesive is wicked. Once it's stuck, there isn't any removing it (without a lot of heartache). https://www.westmarine.com/search?Ntt=reflective+tape don't forget the hyperlites, modulating tail lights and the like.

Joe Frickin' Friday Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 Look for something that is Safety of Life At Sea (SOLAS) grade It is awesome. SOLAS is pretty good: If you do a lot of riding at night, retroreflective stuff like that is really helpful, as it takes the light from the other guy's headlight and bounces it right back toward him for maximum conspicuity. Even in daylight though, the fluorescent yellow/lime-green color gets other driver's attention. You can get six-inch wide tape here. Link to comment
