Street Glo Decals & Stickers

Here is a good place to find Reflective Decals & Stickers.

www.streetglo.net

They have quite a selection. I have purchased from them before & am
very satisfied with their service & quality of product.

I have the streetglo motorcycle graphs kit on my bike for a few years now.
You can see what they look like at the below link.

Looks good Paul.......I'd like to do something like that to mine, but don't think I have a steady enough hand for it. I bought the Speed Stripes for my helmet about a year or so ago.

Thank you Debby, its easy to do. You spray water on the spot where you want to put the decal and you can slide the decal around to position it.

Let me try this again.



There I did it!

You should be aware that your crash helmet is designed to slid, that's why they have a "slick" surface. Any stickers that the manufacturer puts on should have the same co-efficient of friction as the helmet, so as to avoid sudden decellerations in rotational speed when hitting the road surface. These decellarations, which can be caused by use of aftermarket stickers, can result in a twisting moment between the riders head and their body, thus giving the potential for cervico-spinal injury. C/Spine injuries can result in death or extreme paralysis. The other problem is that you may not be aware of any reaction between the adhesive used by the sticker manufacturer and the plastics and/or resins used in the helmet's manufacture. Most helmets come, in the UK, with a warning not to use solvents on the shell and lining, for this reason.

I belive that the original research was done by the Royal Society for the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (ROSPA) and the British Standards Institute (BSI) when setting the standards for crash helmets.

Thanks for the info.......but I guess I'll just have to take my chances.

We also have similar societies of wankers in Australia, as probably every other country in the world. Sometimes I think that they come out with these ridiculous thesis to make it look like they are actually doing something with the huge amounts of public funds they get given to them. Can they come up with a way of stopping can drivers coming thru red lights... of course, but it will need much more funds...
PS the money could be used to fight deseases and research into humanitarian problems. we're drowning in "Nanny States"

OK my 2 cents worth.

Kurt, you may have similar societies of "wankers", but these societies lay down standards for safety. Would you use a non-certified crash helmet or a non-ceritified armoured jacket and risk som of the horrendous injuries that I and my colleagues are seeing? I would agree with you that more money be spent on driver education, but one of the major problems in this world is that no matter how much money you spend on it you will always get the idiots who think that they know best and a red light means go!

The " societies" that give us our incredible safety standards comprise of people who in the most part do not, nor do they care to, worry about those on two wheels.
If you want proof... look at the Road Safety Council approved items shown in the heading pictures on the site below.

Yes, the rectangular yellow and black slab of steel is "u" shaped with the sharp edges out towards the traffic. They don't even round off the corners. Hit one at 5-10 mph and lose a limb, any faster and it could be fatal. These could probably crack a helmet like a walnut.
Safety and concern for all motorists... hmmm?? Ok you still dont believe, the second picture is of a safety barrier designed to behead motor cyclists and those driving convertibles. The posts are bare "s" shaped flesh removing metal. Once hit by a vehicle, the cables lose their tension, they hang loose and tangle anything that hits them, I can see them sitting around their tables chuckling at that one..
When we , the motorcycle fraternity , approached the national road safety department, we were politely told that they work for cars, so they are good, and as motorcycles are a minority, they dont particularly care.
The Monash University department that looks at road safety issues also decrees to the government what laws and strategies should be adopted getting data by asking motorcylists to fill out a questionaire, with questions that no matter what the tick a box answer was, it only was biased to their way of thinking, and from the questions asked, it was obvious that the designers of the questionaire, had never ridden a motorcyle themselves. The Australian Design Rules re helmets, are very stringent and suffer from the same malady that the English riders suffer under. You can purchase the world's absolute best helmet, approved for racing and competition, with other countries standards, and which exceed the local standards but, if it doesn't have the specific ISO Standard label stuck (with chemical based glues) to the ouside of the helmet, you will be fined.
Now where was I?


Let those that ride decide. We must all make the effort to arrive alive and look out for each other, so we can ride in peace.

Well said. Thank you.

Kurt, I couldn't agree with you more aboiut the highway barriers, we have similar "motorcyclist cheese cutters" in the UK. However, several of our motorclclist campaign groups, such as the British Motorcylist Federarion and the Motorcycle Action Groups have campaigned against thes and the Department of Transport are now banning them.

Our MRA, (Motor Cycle Riders Association)as well as some backing from the RAC has had some dealings with our local WA Road Safety Board, but while a particular person remains in charge there will be no backing off. He has stated, and quite incorrectly, that as there have been no fatalities nationally, there is no need to change. The department wont even concede that people driving convertibles are at risk. This is a true Wanker., but as he holds the top job with one of the top football teams he is infallible...
There seems to be a concerted effort to discourage people from riding bikes/scooters. They seem to make their mark by starting with innocuous little things that can push them to incredible positions of power. The rest follows on to the "PETER" principle.
This seems to be a national disease.

this great two questions answered in the same day just what i was looking for thanks a million
