Default Removing reflectors

I want to remove the reflectors on the rear fender and front forks. I now they're like stickers but what can I sue to get the glue off? I haven't taken them off yet. Thanks!

WD-40 and dental floss. Spray the areas and run floss between the reflectors and fender. Then spray more WD-40 and run it off.

If no dental floss, you can also try fishing line . . . they come off easy!

i also used twine on my reflectors and tank badges, the floss and fishing line kept snaping on me.

Use 3M adhesive remover, spray generously and let soak, they will almost fall off.

My bike was still pretty new, but I just grabed the sides of the reflectors with a pair of pliers and twisted them off. Came off perfectly.
