RE: Reflector Fiasco
I used fishing line on my tank reflectors one night and the next day it looked like yours.
Tried to rub out using HD polish by hand but couldn't get the deep grooves to go away.
I bought a Sears orbital buffer and used it about an hour on each side of the tank. All is perfect now, you can't tell it ever happened.

Why would you take off ANYTHING that makes you easier to see? I personally don't get it!

RE: Reflector Fiasco
After reading this thread, I went out to the garage, wedged a shop rag under one end and pulled, struts needed extra work w WD 40 to clean up residual adhesive, front forks pulled right off, backing came off easy as well. 1/2 came off on reflector, other 1/2 pulled and rolled right off.
Gas tank was a breeze too, arrow (or whatever that ugly POS was), came right off, HD metal emblem same deal. Wiped all down w WD 40 to clean up, ran to car wash to get the WD off (and off rear brake). Looks a LOT better with all that crap gone.
Glad I found this forum, lots 'o good ideas to work with.
Thanks for the idea
