Debs, I think Buzz Aldrin could see you from the moon now.

Hopefully cars will as well especially with these dark nights.

 There's a police bike parked up somewhere with a couple of bald patches!

Is that your little peek a boo camera on the mirror?

Nice job.

You can buy them from  PVL www.vehiclechevrons.com but are expensive.
I didn't want a lot but I was still quoted £180 plus £12 delivery



So this is what I did...

I bought a 610mm x 1mtr sheet of Nikkalite Crystal Grade Flexible 92844 Fluo Yellow/Green Reflective  from www.victorydesign.co.uk/_/nikkalite-crystal-grade and cut them myself.. I made templates from cereal boxes to get the shape I wanted before cutting them out. It is the same quality as they use on the South Wales  :police: vehicles  :yes:

With postage it was about £40.

I still need to get some chevrons for the rear of the panniers... Looking at this..

I can't say *I like......

But, if they are not looking, they aren't going to see you.

Police Motorcycliists have told me, that even when on blues and twos, people pull out....

Agreed SirTou
