Please don't. Go buy regular white vinyl it won't cost much, but will look great as seen earlier in this thread.

The reflective tape will not only look tacky, but It may be dangerous to on-coming traffic...

Did you cover the entire front edge of the bars or did you leave the top angle edge alone?

Thanks
