removing reflectors

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

RE: removing reflectors

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

RE: removing reflectors

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.

RE: removing reflectors

WD-40 and a fingernail does the job.

RE: removing reflectors

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.
