If you need any suggestions on reflective tape, I can recommend the Reflexite V82 and/or DOT Conspicuity (also V82) from here:
http://www.night-gear.com/reflective.../Reflexite.htm It's among the highest in raw reflectivity, but unlike some of the other top stuff (Nikkalite Crystal Grade, 3M Diamond Grade) it's thin so it doesn't try to peel itself off due to its own stiffness. The 1-inch-wide V82 can also be had in a couple extra colors (blue and school-bus yellow). If you order multiple quantity of the 1-inch stuff, it comes in one continuous piece... not sure about the 2-inch DOT stuff, I'll know in a few days if it comes in discrete 12-inch sections or one continuous piece.
For my blue-&-silver winter bike, I'm going with the 2-inch-wide silver tape down the "belly" of the downtube, the underside of the top tube, down the fork blades, and along the chainstays and bottom half of the seat tube, and then using blue on the "above-the-horizon" part of the top tube and downtube. Blue being a police-ish color, it may jar peoples' minds away from their cell phone and back to their driving... here's hoping

Thanks for the recommendation on reflective tape, I'll place an order with your source. I looked around the small town I live near, but no one had anything that would work well for a bike, just some strips for mailboxes. I like what you've done with your bike. No one should be able to say they couldn't see you at night.
