Anyone tried to remove the rear fender reflector, without cracking the paint? Damn thing stupid spot for harley to put it, looks dumb on there.

 

You can use a heat gun or a hair dryer to get it warmed up then you should be able to pull it off. Then use a little goo gone to take off the rest.

 

I used fishing line to run between the fender and the reflector. Then followed up with goo gone to get rid of the mounting gunk on the fender. Used my finger nail to work the gunk loose and kept hitting it with goo gone. Not a scratch or anything. Looks like it was never there. Did this for both sides of fender as well as the ones on the front forks. Works like a charm.

 

There are several threads about reflector and badge removal, search around a bit and all your questions will be answered. I let mine sit in the sun awhile, then went at it. Just be patient.

 

I did my tank "blades" on my Fat Bob with a hair dryer. Just hit it for a few minutes, & pick at the edge with your fingernail. I heated the gunk left behing & it rolled right up with my thumb. No evidence they were ever there.

 

Hair dryer and fishing line

 

mine pulled right off no problems

 

Same here. The adhesive is that putty stuff, and it was stuck to the underside of the fender, so no fear of damaging the finish. Reflectors on struts and forks took a little more work, but once started, it peeled right off.

I think heating it might leave more adhesive on the bike. With no heat there was zero residual on all but one fork.

 

Be sure you keep them, especially if you have state inspections. You will not believe what they cost.

 

+1 on the fishing line and goo gone.
