Night time visibility

Just look at any big rig and you'll see red and white reflective tape all over them. Front, back and sides. As mentioned, California have reflective plates. Many utility vehicles have white as well as other reflective tape and emblems all over them. I had white on my ST. No problems.

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 am merely citing the law. Personally, I don't give a damn and I'm not going to get into a pissing contest over this. Yes, there is a difference for lighting between trucks and personal vehicles.

Certainly not trying to get into anything from my part just genuinely curious because I’ve always carried the assumption that the paper work was more of a hassle than the infraction was worth. Answer isn’t needed I was just curious and it probably depends on the officer, the day, time of day etc. Thanks for having looked out for us.

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

Well these are specially cut to fit the RTs and thats the only color offered. I know you can buy many colors of reflective decal material, my two wheeler had gold reflective but still shone a bright yellowish white at night
