I'm from NJ as well, I guess I'll have to cut more out for my helmet. I'll measure out four inches and just cut out a big shape of our little state for the back of my noodle.

It's good to see some of you getting some ideas from this.

Yep, I did a search on Google and found 3M marketing under the product name "Scotchlite". There was a video on Youtube where someone used it on their road bicycle and I thought it would work well. The part number of the product I used is in the first post which just gives you small pieces. a 4"x 12" strip, a 2"x24" strip and a 1" x 24" strip.

You can also buy Scotchlite in other colors but the black I thought was the coolest for a bike like mine and many others being they're so dark. It comes in sheets or strips.

Mine doesn't even measure 4 cubic but its good enough. I don't really think a cop will pull me over and whip out a ruler. Plus most of the cops around here ride anyway

I long time ago I found this website. Got a few things from them. This is place where you can get reflective decals, tape all types of reflective Stuff. Some you can not see until the light hits it.

Neat stuff and you do not have to do any cutting

Friend gave me a piece and i replaced the black plastic covering on the bottom part of an accessory Dyna battery cover with it. Looks just like the original battery cover until light hits it.

I don't apply to the what exit question anymore, I moved away from the Parkway. Originally I was an exit 148'er but now I live out in central Morris County and I don't think saying exit 34 off of 80 has the same kinda gusto.

Lots of sizes and different colors to choose from.
