How much trouble to remove the reflectors off the front forks and the rear fender ,

I did remove mine. Used a hairdryer, some patience, and a bit of goofoff with a rag. Try to avoid the urge to use anything to pry at them (like a screwdriver, keys, knife, razorblade, wife's toothbrush, etc.).

Pretty simple procedure.

Dental Floss (use like a wire saw) WD40 (spray between reflector) and about 10 min of time. Use WD40 to remove residual tape. Clean and polish. All done and looks better

 

I used some dental floss to remove mine a couple of weeks ago - front and rear. Definitely don't pry them off or try to force them off because you could scratch something or break the reflectors. I didn't even bother heating them up first and they came off okay. Iused my fingers with some force to sort of roll up and pull off the excess "sticky" left behind. Then, for the residue, I used goo-gone to get it off.

I tried the WD-40 trick and let it sit on the front forks while I was removing the rear ones. But the front ones didn't seem to come off any easier. So, it can be done without any sort of solvent if you don't have any.

 

I heated them up with a hair dryer and pulled them off with my fingers. Left almost no residue at all on the fenders and none on the forks.

 

I just finally got around to taking the rears off. I loaded up the area around them with Goo Be Gone and let it sit for awhile. One pulled right off and the other I used some twine I had in the garage. I had to do some major scrubbing (also with Goo Be Gone) to get the double sided tape off though.

 

grab with fingernails and pull...............rub off excess with thumb...................LO............. ................. ...................... .................

 

I tried the fishing line method, kinda hurt the hands and kept breaking the line.
Got a little pissed, started pulling them off. Yeah, they came off in pieces, not too worried about it, wann't planning to put em back on.
WD-40 and some good ol' fashion rubbing for the rest.
Don't forget the frame stickers now...

 

You used wrong line, try 20lb testberkley fireline and you won't break it,use gloves so you won't cut fingers.

 

Definitely use gloves if you go the fishing line route - leave bike out in the sun first, and finish up with Goo Gone to get rid of the residue - easy 10 minute job max. I also soaked mine with Goo Gone first and they slid right off w/the fishing line.
