Safety Reflectors.
I need to design a reflector out of metal to mount on the spare tire, have 24" of tape and four screw mounted plastics and plenty of steel. I do not want a triangle because I believe it has a legal meaning. So, what does everybody else use? I need some inspiration.

Re: Safety Reflectors.
Use three of these. One for each bolt hole. They are 3 1/4” dia. And they bolt right on. https://www.emedco.com/center-mount-reflectors-rph.html

Re: Safety Reflectors.
Take a look at bicycle lights & reflectors too. They have a variety of styles and mounting options, some even have a blinking option

The past is a great place and I don't want to erase it or to regret it, but I don't want to be its prisoner either.

Re: Safety Reflectors.
Don’t use the reflectors. People think they are tail lights. When they don’t light up or flash when you slow down, you are more likely to get rear ended.

Re: Safety Reflectors.
Playing around as well. Thinking top saddle irons for visibility, and kinda like ear rings on the old girl.
