There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Where did you get the reflective stickers?

Would white only reflective stickers be legal? I know in Illinois,you can't have a white light on the rear of a vehicle. (illuminated while driving) Seems like that would be something that could get you stopped for a little "discussion" when riding at night.

What with all the utility vehicle with all kinds of reflective tape and decals in all colors, its not an issue. Most trucks have red/white reflective tape all over.
Large trucks are required by the Feds to have so many square inches of WHITE reflective material on the rear. This is applied at the factory before the trucks leave. That was one of the things I had to make sure of as a QA inspector. Why the double standard? I have been running these black/white reflective decals on all my bikes for years and all over the U.S. and Canada with nary a second glance from any officers. Not about to remove them now.

StreetGlo also sells that material in stripes or sheets that you can cut yourself.

South Carolina vehicle illumination law.
All lighting devices and reflectors mounted on the rear of any vehicle shall display or reflect a red color, except the stop light or other signal device, which may be red, amber or yellow and except that the light illuminating the license plate or the light emitted by a back-up lamp shall be white.

This is reflective tape not a light.

It states "All lighting devices and reflectors mounted on the rear " Reflective tape is a reflector. I was a SC police officer for 21 years .
So I’m curious, is this the sort of thing you’d pull a motorcyclist over for or would you let it go or does it depend on the day?
In Calif a front and rear license plate is required but I’ve never been pulled over for it despite passing many cops. I guess I always figured it was more hassle than it’s worth.

I don't have a dog in this fight so my comments are only just curious. Why would you not just have red reflective color instead of white on the rear? For us old guys, white is for the front and red is for the rear. Seeing white from the rear would tend to confuse unnecessarily..... Jim
