[QUOTE="SacramentoMike, post: 1333486, member: 11508"] Thanks, John. One of the reviews I read did say that the lighted strips are most useful in off-line situations, like a car approaching from the side when you're stopped at an intersection, and the headlights aren't directly aimed at the jacket. Something else you made me think about is that those black reflective [URL="https://www.realtimeindustries.com/fjr1300-reflective-rear-bag-decals/"]RTI bag stickers[/URL] don't do much of anything in daylight. I like them and I've had them on all 3 FJRs, but when I got the '14 I ordered the red ones, just to match the bike (which they do very nicely). But the bigger benefit, I've decided, is they add daytime conspicuity. When you see a bike with the rider wearing a black jacket, black helmet, black bags (with or without black stickers), maybe a black top case, there's not much to visually jump out from behind. I'd put them on [I][B]any [/B][/I]color FJR. Back on topic, one thing I liked about these jackets is that the lighting--and the reflective strip--is high enough to show from behind over a tail bag.
