If you enjoy your money then STAY AWAY from the Night Train pic thread. Those guys will have no problem helping you spend it on your bike.

Reflectors were the first thing I took off my bike. I just got my fat fingers behind them and they pulled right off. Did it kinda slow and all the stickey crap came off with them leaving nothing behind. You might be able to do the same.

Use dental floss for the reflectors. Mint flavorseems to work the best.

I did my first modification tonight.... a little thing that makes a big difference as far as I'm concerned. I would assume that I can get the stock reflectors off of the bike with a blow dryer? Any residue left behind?
Be careful and take your time..the reflectors on my front forks were a bitch..I used a heat gun, dental floss kept breaking, finally just pulled them off, but I also must have pulled some finish (clear coat?) off one side...don't matter now that I've blacked them,but it was a little ugly until I got it done. Rear reflectors came right off, and I used a tiny bit of goo off and paper towel to get the residue off. I've used WD-40 on another bike and it worked fine too. Just watch your finishes!
Those smoked lenses and tri bar tail light will look great.
VISA must love Night Train riders!

Pull the reflectors and lower that bad boy. V&H big radius pipes here too. I'm also looking for somthing diffrent. I powder coated mine and wrapped them now they have black ones. I also put in torque cones and pulled the baffles they are very loud but, I lost a little on the bottom end
