Only one way to find out - ride that bitch!!!

And it's just a reflector.

I got some red reflective tape from walmart to replace those bicycle reflectors.

I don't think you'll have any melting issues. You could put some heat wrap on the exhaust just in case, though.

Currently 28 degrees and sunny right now......when it warms up to 40 I'm out the door.

I was thinking about the reflector tape as well. I could cut the strips to fit the side area perfectly.
