I just pulled the ones on my forks after reading the first few posts. Took 15 minutes, about 5 feet of 10lb Trilene, couple splashes of mineral spirits on a rag and GONE. Looks MUCH better.

I took mine off the hard way. I changed out the sliders for chrome ones. They do not come with the reflectors mounted.

As seen here, I removed mine from the lowers, when switched to chrome, and used the tape
type on the fender struts. Actually throw more light than factory reflectors and really don't
seem em in the sunlight / day time

I took them off last week when I was home. I do like the looks of the bike without them!
