Breakout reflectors

It can be removed its just a PITA. Took me about 20 mins but it came out. I carefully used a flathead screwdriver and a hook tool to gently rock the reflector loose and pull it out. Note: it's held under the metal bracket with 3M tape so be patient. As for the bracket on the fender, I left it alone since my only goal was to remove the reflector. Be careful not to crack your paint by prying to hard. Oh, didn't remove the fender either.

I removed mine when I took off the stock side mount plate to put my own diy mount on. The rear fender is really easy to remove; remove the seat, unhook the quick connects along the back edge (there are 3 for the lights), take out the 4 bolts (2 on each side) of the fender braces below/behind the seat and then pull the whole fender assembly (with braces and all) up and forward. It then unlocks and you can remove the whole thing. Just make sure you have a towel or something to put it on so you don't jack up the paint. There is a plate/brace inside the fender that the reflector is held in with, you can see the brace removed in one of the pics, it is right next to the rear exhaust. You probably don't have to completely remove it to get the reflector out if you are careful. I don't know if any of these pics might help anyone visualize some of it but perhaps they will:

I used the techniques suggested on here to remove the back reflector (slot tabs, rocking back/forth, LIGHT Screwdriver pry) and it just won't come out. While I greatly appreciate this thread and the info provided by the members.....WTF?!! Going back tonight and trying again.
BTW, how do you guys like the new LED taillight strip available on ebay:
