Ppl always recommend floss and fishing lines. Trust me, the most effective way is hair dryer. Heat it up to the right temp and wiggle, that's it!

Just removed all mine a few days ago with fishing line and goo gone. Do not saw the fishing line. Just soak reflector for a couple minutes in goo gone then give the fishing line a good coat and pull. Pulled all four of mine in about 15min including clean up time.

Nothing up under there to worry about looking pretty, and the adhesive will peel off with a little force and twisting.


Everything else was GOO Gone and fishing line...

Why would you want to reduce the ability to be seen by the cage drivers?

Yes, I get it - the clean look, make it your own etc. T-boned by a Buick or a little red reflector on you bike - Hmmmm?

Warm up the area with a hairdryer and then dental floss or lite fishing line and then some goo gone.

Just my take on it, but pretty sure if they dont notice me and the motorcycle, its probably due to the fact they arent paying attention, not the visibility aspect. I doubt a reflector will make them look up from texting, or the radio, or whatever else has their attention. I can not imagine a reflector being a causitive factor in any accident. Maybe for a runner or someone on a bicycle with no other lights, but on a motorcycle, hardly...

Squirt the backside of the adhesive with wd 40 let it soak in for 5 min then grab it and twist it.
