It just needs an orange flashing light and a grit spreader attachment for the top box.
And the "Wide Load" sticker.

........on a blue background, just for effect
Motorway Maintenance or Safety Camera Partnership come to mind.

how much do you charge to tarmac a driveway and top my conifers

My first thought was "oh no, they should be the other way round" (making a "v" rather than a "^" across the two boxes). It looks weird to me...
Then I realised that I need to go take that test to see where I am on the autism spectrum.

I'd be interested in getting a strip or two of that.
I wear high-vis gear already, so whilst people can make 'funny' comments about people trying to increase their visibility, given the majority of drivers appear to be blind to bikes, more visibility is better!
Better to be seen and laughed at than have your family visit your gravestone every now and then...........

Thanks Keba, 
Every day I go to Gloucester and it gets REALLY heavy fog sometimes. even in the heavy rain, visibility it massively reduced.
On the front, I've got the normal lights, Hella FF50's and PIAA's, yet on the back..... one poxy bulb that get covered in shite!!
These have already made a difference to the idiots coming up behind; you notice them backing off sooner!.
I got these made by having a square of the yellow and 2 inch wide stripes of active red stuck on them.

They look really good for bad weather riding . (Bit like a copper bike)
I ride in bad fog on unlit B-roads and am l always conscious of the poor visibility of the rear of the bike with no fog light.
Almost got nudged by a truck at a junction a few months ago as he obviously did not see me till the last second in bad fog.
Anyone know if someone makes a rear fog light suitable for the GS?

Just put some Police Logo's on top of the chevrons and they will back off even more!

Looks effective, and with you all the way on vis adn commuting.
Have to say though - even with the Photoshopped 'plate, we're still gonna know that's your bike...

Not Chevrons I know, but reflective all the same, a fellow forum member asked me for reflective vinyl for his Adventure Boxes,so I used my box as a tester......
And in normal daylight hours it looks like.....

I like those
I may order me a set!!!!

It might give peace of mind, but it will not make a blind bit of difference to the myoptic members of the public out there. Our transit vans have reflective chevrons on the full width and height of the back doors plus lovely flashing high intensity blue and red lights and the public still manage to drive into the back of them on straight bits of road in good visibility. Then again I've had a caravanner drive into the side of one sitting in a car park in broad daylight who didn't see it !
Seriously though bear in mind if installing reflective media on the rear of a vehicle that it is only legal in the uk to show yellow/ red/orange to the rear . White and blue are a no no.

They're not myopic, they are aimimg at you, subconcious suicide assassins!They were brainwashed at an early age and the sight of the red and blue lights is the trigger, honest.
Remember, just cos you're paranoid, doesn't mean they aren't trying to get you!
I didn't know civil servants drove around in vans with chevrons and blue and red flashing lights and had an intimate knowledge of the road traffic act!
