+1 on hairdryer. Heat it up really good and the glue loses it's tack. Then use Goo Gone or something like that to rub the remaining goop off. Piece o' cake.

+2 on hairdryer or heat gun. Pryed off with small bladed screwdriver, followed with heat. should come right off. Also heat is definitely good if taking off the protective cover on rear fender.... Should have to use any solvent...

On my Fat Boy I heated mine up with a Hair Dryer and just pulled them off
then used Goo Gone to remove the remaining glue.
&nbsp\\;
I bought the Goo Gone in the paint section at Walmart.
I've used WD-40 in the past but Goo Gone is better.

Take your bike for a ride, get it heated up, or let the bike sit in the sun, and the metal gets hot, those plastic suckers come right off...... and w/&nbsp\\;w-d 40 as mentioned takes the glue off, with a little rubbing with a soft cloth,&nbsp\\;easy!!!!

The dealer removed my rear reflectors when they installed the backrest.&nbsp\\; They did not need to come off but that is different story.&nbsp\\; I used goo gone to remove the residual adhesive from the the aircleaner cover warning sticker.
