The fronts are easy. Because of the clearcoat on the forks, they just peel right off and take the adhesive with them, leaving nary a trace. If your bike is black denim, the rears are a little more involved. I slide some paper under one end of the reflector, to keep it from scratching the paint, and VERY CAREFULLY got a small flathead screwdriver under the edge of the other end without touching the underlying paint. Slowly and carefully, pried the reflector off the fender. Taking care not to scratch the paint with the other end. The adhesive sticks better to the matte paint so most of it stayed on the fender. I then sprayed the adhesive with 3M Adhesive Remover, let it set for a few minutes and most of it wiped off the first time. Took a couple more applications to get it all but the stuff works wonderfully. With gloss paint, it might be better to just peel it off without the adhesive remover.

the way i did it was when it hot outsise let the bike sit in the sun, then when its hot twist it fsideways and slow lift away. a little 3m adhesive remover and you good. you could probably use a blowe dry dryer for the same effect.

My dealer told me to remove the adhesive with WD-40. Tried it and it worked, with a little elbow grease. Did not harm the paint. Houston
