I fitted my own Datatag yesterday (video coming for anyone that wants it) and have a question about it.

When I painted over the stencil it left quite a visible mark. I know in the instructions it says wait 2 weeks and it will fade, but today I wiped a couple of them over.


I don't have a UV light to test it now. Have I basically totally removed the point of it? (I only did these two places) On the orange part, I can still make out there is something there, so I would guess that's fine. On the white part, I can't see anything, but lighter colours don't show it as well anyway.

Also, I assume I'm okay with people reading my Datatag number? (After all, anyone could walk up to my bike and read it) They can't do anything weird like get the registration moved over to them or something?
 
Tbh I wouldn't expect them to be scanning people riding them. I always thought it was more about finding abandoned or a load in a lock up or something.

I think insurance can be lowered (I've not actually checked mine) due to Datatag. They wouldn't do that if it didn't have some success?
 
Personally I thought the UV staining was probably the weakest of the elements. Love the rice sized transponders and the DNA dotted all over the bike is pretty much impossible to remove I would think.
