Hard bag reflectors - Know of any?

I thought there were all ready reflectors in the saddlebag hendge? Most people try to get rid of them or cover them up but I understand why you want the side visability. I removed my rear turns signals and went with some leds that have no side visibilty and am looking for side lights. I want to do something away from the bags so I will not have to disconnect them when removing the bags. I have been thinking of doing some led stripes down low on the frame to act as run/turns.

Not me; I want visibility at night, no matter what color the bike. I like my Ultra, in part, due to the light-bar on the rear of the Tour-Pak. Not sure that a 'black-cherry' shows up much better than a 'vivid-black' at night. I had a luxury-red '02 and not much visibility at night. Nothing wrong with wanting to 'be seen'.

Ironic? Perhaps, I never thought of it that way. But you've got the point; black bike, black jacket, black as night...posible problem. A few nice looking, well place reflectors will give the cagers more to see when I'm riding after dark.

I have to do a bit of riding in the dark, since that's the way it is when I leave for work in the morning (and sometimes on the way home). I honestly don't think I can tell the color of any bike I've seen in the dark. It's all about the lights/reflector's. And I'm also concerned about being seen. Even with all the lights I have on my FLHTK, I'm always looking for more/better visibility.
One of the best ideas I've seen is the reflector vest. I haven't bought one yet...but probably should.

Sure seems like I've seen reflectors mounted on the rear crash bars somewhere. Maybe the international bikes have them? If you could find a long thin strip (trailer supply store?) You could hose clamp them on there? Might be an idea to consider, and something to avoid sticking anything to your saddlebags that you may regret later should you want to remove it.
