I created and printed an outline of the image/text using Photoshop. On the print out, I taped down the reflective tape over the printed area and ran it through the printer again. This gave me an outline on the reflective tape. From there I took a straight edge and a cutting board and cut them out. Finally I (carefully) place them on the mudflap.
I also put a little scooter and some dashes on the back of my helmet:
But this was before I got artsy, so I might redo the helmet with something a little more interesting.

The tape I used is Duck Reflective Tape. It says white on the packaging, but is more silver in color. I bought it at Wal-Mart in the automotive section. It cost about $2.00.
I imagine you can find it online somewhere, though I don't know of any stores specifically. A Froogle search brings back numerouse results.
That is a riot! I just got back from the Columbus Rally and took the red tape off my topcase and replaced it with the white reflective tape. Put our Club letters in the center with red reflective letters. I'll include a picture later. This is really something I recommend since there's nothing reflective on the topcase. It sits up high and hides most of the reflective piping on the back of my jacket so I'm pretty happy now I'll be seen.
