Well, I finally took those ugly (IMO) reflectors off the bike after a year of looking at them.

I refuse to take full blame for my actions, though......... Every time I saw someones pic of their ride without them, it made me think about how d@mn nice my ride would look without the reflectors.

Went to Wally world today, and bought a cheap hair blower, then went to work heating those babies up and popping 'em off. Even after a year of roasting in the sun, and freezing in the cold, all I had to do was heat 'em up awhile, get my fingers behind 'em abit and pull......
No scratches, nothing to it. Used a little rubbin' alcohol on the remainder, a shot o wax, and perfecto..... no more ugly, all gone.
Just like rippin' an ugly bikini off a good lookin' woman.

I know the safety police can't appreciate what I have done, and hope some old gal in a Lincoln Towncar with one too many in 'er don't broadside me, and make a statistic out o me, but what is done is done (what a relief).

Well the bike seems happier about what I done, and I know I am. Sure gonna make my sweetheart easier to wax and shine up, now.

Good job, Doug. I took those off the first day I had the bike. They just look tacky, in my opinion.

I didn't need the hair dryer, though. It was about 102 degrees that day so they just peeled off!

 

I know what you mean, I almost took them off before I left the dealership, but then hesitated........ and then procrastinated..... and then just got too busy riding, and adding other cr@p to the bike, and then needed a hair blower. Not having any class, and no babe around, I just had to finally buy a blower. Finally bought a tube of toothpaste too, while I was in the beauty section.

Maybe next week, I'll use the toothpaste. Oh ****, forgot to get a toothbrush....... Oh well, there's always next year.

Yep, I couldn't wait to get rid of them damn things!

 

Yep, the bike just looks like it was designed to NOT have the reflectors on it, especially the black bikes (IMO).

 

I left mine in the dealership parking lot

 

I removed my rear reflectors when I installed my sissy bar. Next I'm doing the ones on the lower fork legs. They look like Hell.

 

Did ya really?? Cool.

You know what they say, "Better late than never."
