Wear a 1/2 helmet, some mirrored glasses, gloves and the cages will part like the Red Sea

Not necessarily. I'm B&W and sometimes it helps, other times no. Before and after I put the decal on the tank, same thing. Riding with spotlights on makes a bigger impact on the cagers in my experience.
This is me:

White helmets are the safest color. I don't have one because a friend of mine had one and he constantly had cagers slowing down in front of him ALL the time, it became a hastle to always have to drive around them.

Sanos I like black and white bikes. I'll give you an option you may not thought about, would be nice to have a touch of black on the tank to help the flow of the bike between black and white. I painted my speedo console. You could paint it with plastic dip for a few bucks, if you don't like it you can peel it off. Here is what mine looks like, not best angle but gives you an idea.

I routinely have drivers move over when I'm riding behind them with the white bike and white helmet. Very visible combination.

I used to have a white halfy helmet with a gold on black insignia on the front. I would pull behind anyone and they would start to pull over!
