Hi viz works. They either move over because they see me or because they think I am some nutcase. I don't know which, or care.
Yep, cages either think I'm like a mission impossible agent or some sort of emergency vehicle and GTF out of the way.
In fact I swear LEO"s think this too and leave me alone too. Helps to have lights, handguards, pegs, etc to give more presense.
As far as fading, they do fade, but as said it will take awhile. You're good for a long,long time.
They do get dirty quickly but an annual washing brings them back. But I will say oil/grease stains are next to impossible to remove. Gives character :lol:
Feedback from other riders behind me both day and night tell me I'm a frickin flying saucer, that no one can miss me if they are looking.
I've noticed a HUGE, HUGE difference in the number of cages turning left dangerous in front of me. Almost never happens anymore, city or country.
Intersections seem 1000% safer. :guitar:
As far as comments? :haha: :haha:
Been called spaceman, fireman, nuclear worker :nuke: , and get plenty of laughs from the American iron crowd. Plenty of people have came up and made conversation about it, and the FJR.
One last thing...MUST get the optional back and hip pads. Go a little big on the suit.
Bottom line is they are the best visibility but be prepared for some funny (or annoying) questions :jester:
