Default removing reflectors

this has probably been asked before but how do you get the tape off of frame that the reflector was stuck to?

Cheap little product called GOO Gone paid $3.50 for it at the hardware and that stuff works very well. I used the goo gone when i removed my fork reflectors and the stickers on my AC cover and it worked very well.

Have also heard guys use WD-40

Goo Gone is good to get the glue residue off. Try fishing line drawn back and forth between the reflector and the surface it's mounted to - this will get it off and then you are good to go with the Goo Gone. Follow up with a good coat of wax.

WD-40 and a fingernail does the job.

Just used goo gone today on a couple of reflectors, just spray and let it soak in for a couple of minutes then wipe off, it took 2 applications to get it all off but it came off easily, then i just finished wiping it with a little alochol.

Used a Blow Dryer to heat up the area around the reflector, then just peeled it off. Used Goof Off to wipe off the remaining glue residue.
