RE: removing reflector
I took them off my Deuce. I used a blow dryer to soften up the adhesive and peeled them off. Auto Zone sells a product called Goo Gone. It works really good on tape residue.

blow dryer... some dental floss... then wd-40 to get off the glue. clean then wax.
try dental floss 1st. i personally got the ones off the fender really easily... needed the dryer for the fork reflectors though.

RE: removing reflector
You'll get a lot of answers if you search ... I used a plastic kids ruler (so no scratching) on a hot day and just levered them off slowly ... so the hairdryer is probably a good idea this time of year !

RE: removing reflector
Hi amish, apply a little heat on the back of the reflectors with a hair drier don,t use a heat gun or anything that gets too hot and could damage the paint, this will "loosen" up the glue. Then starting from the end pull the reflectors off with your fingers, they will come off easily. I personally rolled the remaining glue off with my finger tips and then polished up the fender with Mer, (or your favorite polish).
By the way thats a great looking Bob.

RE: removing reflector
+1 on the WD40 but...
Why would you want to take something OFF the bike that helps others see you better?
Crazy IMHO. I think your bike looks awesome the way it is!
Be safe.

RE: removing reflector
I've always used a hair dryer. Heat 'em up and pull them off. Usually very little to no residue left.

RE: removing reflector
Fishing line or dental floss. I took mine off with fishing line, no heat gun or blow dryer. Then I rolled off the remaining adhesive with my fingertips. Then gave her a good waxing...oh sh*t...wasn't talking about the wife there. I waxed where the reflectors were after I waxed the wife...lol
