Heat it up with a hair dryer or heat gun and pull it off. Go to napa auto and get a rubber wheel for your drill and run it over the remaining sticky stuff. Use some adhesive and wax remover on a terry cloth towel to buff the haze off. Then wax the area

I used a heat gun and some fishing line, then finished it off with some Extreme GOO Gone worked pretty good

If you're talking about the one that's attached up under the rear of the fender, I just manhandled it loose on my Street Bob.

Nothing up under there to worry about looking pretty, and the adhesive will peel off with a little force and twisting.

This method works like a dream! Use the old style "waxed" floss instead of the flat "glide" style floss

A little heat and it will come right off easily. The side reflectors I heated them CAREFULLY with a heat gun, then carefully heated right around the reflector, twisted them a little then pulled them right off. Didn't leave any residue behind at all. Just take your time. Good luck.

I used my wife's hair dryer and it did the trick, then dental floss. I just had the run of the mill Goo Gone.

Don't do ... Its an Obama federal mandate to leave them on. Just like the tag on your mattress.
