I was going to remove the reflectors as soon as I got my bike home. Almost 2 years later,and I still haven't got around to it. I guess the reflectors don't bother me that much.

good advice retro,didnt know that. wish i knew sooner.

No matter what you use, keep the floss/line between the reflector and the adhesive, not between the adhesive and the fork.

That way no scratches. Take your time, it works.

I removed mine carefully with dental floss and saved them for future use if I change my mind.

One very easy way to remove them (and other stickers) are to gently warm them up with a hairdryer or heat gun (on low heat), when they are warm enough just to touch them with bare hands it usually easy to lift them of.

I took mine off the front, since the right one started to "Melt"
once I put on the "Vance & Hines Longshots", went to "Stage One",
and had it "Dyno Tuned" without the baffles... [:@]Loud & Nasty[:@]
