received my new sissy bar plates and rack for the new F/Boy.
Been trying to get the reflector of so i can fit the side plates but they will not budge.

can anyone tell meare they suck on with self adhesive tape.

 

They are put on with tape. Try a blow dryer to heat them up a bit, then use dental floss or fishing line to "slice" through the tape. It will leave some residue, but I used WD 40 to get that off. Hope this helps!

 

I use something called Goof Off. I just use a small flat blade screw driver to gently pry the edge of the reflector up and squirt some under it. Let it sit for a few minutes and then grab the rflector and pull it off. You may have to squirt some more under the reflector.

The same stuff will remove the residue...

 

use the dental floss. pull it behind the reflector with a sawing motion. it will come right off. then soak the left over residue with "goo gone" from auto zone,it wont hurt the paint or chrome.I dont know if will damage black wrinkle or not. it will take a few soakings but with some elbow grease and patience it will be gone. also when rubbing the "goo"off use a microfiber towel so you dont scratch your paint.

 

be carefull putting too much pressure on those reflectors, ive heard there is a chance of pushing in the metal behind it and causeing damage!

 

The blow dryer is a good idea, and be patient, once it's warm enough start wiggling it. I used a flat screw driver. Whatever glue they use is a strong one, butthey will come off. I had mine parked outside on a sunny & hot summer day so it was easy to remove them. And make sure you cover the painted area with a towel before assembly.

 

just don't get the blow dryer too hot or you'll distort your reflector if you wanna re-use it. I took mine off and left em off.

 

Reflectors - who needs reflectors? Put your new sissy bar on and don't worry about it.
