Default How to remove front fork reflectors?

Hello - I see a number of bikes without front fork reflectors. I would like to do the same to my Fat Boy. What is the best way to remove them? Thanks

Here's another way..... Take a piece of dental floss(waxed) and slide from top to bottom. That will remove the reflector, then grab some rubbing alcohol and clean the glue off....... Works great!!!!!!!!!!

Heat the reflector with a hairdryer then peel it off.Take some WD40 and wipe off the excess sticky stuff. Works great. Good Luck.

Once they came off I cleaned the rest off with Goo Gone.
