reflector removal
I have already removed the reflectors on my lower fork tubes but need some input on the rear reflectors. What is the best way to remove and clean the reflectors off of the sides of the rear fender? My 2009 dyna has gloss paint. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Heat in the sun or with a hair dryer, then use fishing line. Goo be Gone and several other cleaners will remove sticky residue. There are several threads on this subject, try a search for more ideas. Welcome to the forum.

So you don't have to go out and buy something extra like Goo Gone or Peels, just use something you and most others should already have around the house...WD-40 and a little elbow grease after removing the reflector with the hair dryer and dental floss or really thin fishing line.

I used to be an advocate of gum turpentine for all sticky goo removal, but Goo Gone is actually way better. WD-40 is a distant third.

True, but Goo Gone at the Dollar Store just costs a penny over 99 cents, lasts for a long time and works way better than WD-40, no elbow grease required, just apply and wipe off.
