hey guys i have been told my bike is hard to see from behind. i was wondering what i can do to make it more visible. i was thinking maybe a strobe in the rear taillight or some neon on the back. i have a diy fender eliminator and i don't want new turn signals. any suggestions?

A strobe in the rear might be painful.

Seriously though, your not going to be able to add lighting that will help during the day, so the real concern is at night, correct?

I suggest making sure that you first make sure you leave the stock reflectors on the bike. In addition, get some riding gear that has alot of reflective stuff on it. You can even get reflective tape, maybe add a stripe to your helmet or something.

yeah i'm talking about at night. what do you guys think of adding neon to the back of the bike? i was thinking of getting a second helmet for at night that is more visible right now my helmet is plain black.
