See and Be Seen
« on: March 07, 2015, 04:45:52 PM »
Last week we had to fix a few tail lights but in the process we decided that it might make sense to have some back up, passive reflection, in addition to the tail light - a tail light that is all too often covered by snow.

We have one 79 Intruder that came with a Kawasaki logo on the back of the trunk lid.  We liked it so much that we decided to replicate it in white reflective vinyl.

Also, we had a few trunk lids with broken handles.  We picked up a few simple black cabinet pulls at a local home center and voila we are  back in business.

So ... what is that white stuff in the picture?  oooh that's snow ,hardly recognize it. I had to see it in a picture because we sure didn't have much here. Great job on the handle, how well does that reflector tape stick to the textured surface? Joel

No problems with adhesion of the decal.  Just squeegee it on.  We like the extra reflection riding at night.
