Go with the Tiger...should drive the women wild with passion!
Think I'll stick with the well worn sticker I made for my helmet "EVO-Been there Done that".
later, Tom.
But, what do I know?

I agree, go with the tiger. Nothing on my helmet except for a few scratches, due to helmet falling off of bike.

I seriously hope you're joking. IMHO you will probably get beat up when you stop for gas with those things on your helmet.  -Josh

Ahh, come on Josh, where's your humor? Guess I'll have to send a set to you as a gift so you HAVE to put them on. Which one appeals to you the most?

So nobody has reflective tape/decals on their helmet to increase visibility?

I do, I got creative with Scotchlite, doesn't show in the day as it goes with the "lines" of the helmet, but gives a little extra at night so the deer see me.

Down here in Arizona we have a road called The Devil's Highway(it used be numbered route 666 since it was a branch off of route 66). That devil horn and tail setup would be great to have for that ride.

I've got an american flag sticker and that little stick-on RAT emblem they gave me when I first got Torque magazine. I agree I would not like to go in a Harley bar with ears on my helmet  -PES

I've actually put some reflective stickers on my helmet. I found a yellow reflective stripe kit and cut them in a pattern similar to the paint design of the tank. The spider I have on the back is also reflective. When I started getting my motorcycle gear (jacket, chaps, gloves) I noticed that I had a lot of black items but nothing to make me more visible to the cagers at night so I started 'customizing' my helmet.

I've been thinking of getting these put on (the flames) but have come up with a different idea since. But check it out someone might like the idea. If you mouse over the images it shows you how the reflection looks. http://reflectivedecals.com/

I put one of those reflective Halo bands around my helmet. It really stands out.

I need something. Was shopping jackets with reflectivity, but settled on leather, with nothing. Black bike, black helmet, black jacket - I'm a ghost!
That helmet halo band looks cool, as do some of the stick-ons. What about the jacket any ideas? Sew-ons? (A sew-on Triumph badge that reflected would be cool.)

Keith, I don't know if this is any help, but Vanson makes leathers that looks black but also glow in the dark. They have a "skeleton" design that looks pretty trippy. Not that I would suggest anything that cheesy but they've "got the technology."
Right now I'm trying to decide if I want to get a silver helmet with a few of those reflective stickers on it or a black helmet with a bunch of stickers. I'm leaning towards the silver.

Keith,
I got a Triumph patch made to go on the back of my black jacket. Not so much reflective but I did use silver thread and it does seem to catch light at night better than other patches. Plus I wear a chrome helmet. Every little bit helps.

I agree and like the idea that it's not glued on, but I don't think it will work with my helmet (movable chinbar). I think I'll go with either a roll of quarter-inch reflective pinstriping or the checkerboard decals.

Found some 3" reflective strips at the dealer yesterday - had an assortment of colors. Chose the Black, for my Black helmet. Can't hardly see them in daylight, show up very well when dark and shined upon. Put one on the back, two down each side, along the "jawbone". Every little bit helps.

.. dust at the minute - waiting to get back home and have waited what seems like FOREVER to get my America back from the Triumph factory.
When I get out of the airport car park back home, the first call will be to my dealer to see if my rides back.
You'll hear me back here if it's not ready ...

Spotted a lady on a Goldwing last weekend with the cat ears and tail. Thanks to the quality inormation on this site, I knew what it was immediately. One of the wonders of seeing Morro Bay, Ca.
later, Tom.
But, what do I know?

Just bugs and scratches at the moment. I have been thinking of adding a statement to it. Just so many choices. Could put a harley emblem on it to really confuse the folks who ask, (who makes triumph).

So what did you think of Morro Bay? I was out there in the summer of 89’. (God that was a long time ago) That is the coldest beach town I have ever been to. The big rock was neat but ****** it was clod. I remember having to ware long pants and a jacket in June. Growing up in SC I expected the beaches in Ca. to be hot like the ones here. I did not know you had to get all the way down to LA to find a warm beach.
