I've fitted some 3M Diamond Grade Flouro Yellow Reflective Tape and 3M Diamond Grade Red Reflective Tape. $19.45 delivered for a 2 Metre Length of Yellow, $18.95 for the Red.
Both were bought from this eBay store based in Nerang, Qld
Flouro Yellow http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=321202511066 (http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=321202511066)
I stuffed up and bought this one in Red which was in Pre-cut Lengths of 100 mm but it still worked out OK. Just had to be a little creative. http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320907150570 (http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320907150570)
I am really happy with the results, especially as I fitted them the day after I got out of hospital and did it all with just my left-hand. :thumb
They are highly reflective and really stand out under Head lights.

Looks great. I bought some of those tailbrights which are black during the day and white at night. And have been thing of using some RED with them. You have convinced me that is the way to go. Hmmm helps to be ambidextrous eh.

I know people have differing opinions about making your bike stand out from the crowd.
I am very safety conscious and when I bough my my bike, QAS kindly arranged for it to be "flouroed up" with ambulance panels.
I have received a number of comments about being "a wanker" however I have also been told my bike is extremely visable from a great distance and being white makes the cagers just that bit more cautious.
If being a wanker saves an accident and injuries to myself and my wallet, then so be it.
I personally believe that peer pressure prevents a number of motorcyclists adopting a greater safety visibility stance. (take fluro vests for example).
Cheers,
A.
