Took my Night Train in for the Big Shots and A/C Upgrade and rejet, got it back and she looks great. Loud isnt the word for it, but I like it..... no I love it! Ill post some pics as soon as I can. Next it Foot Pegs and Grips, and then the Braided lines. Thinking about getting the black fork sliders but I want to take off the reflectors, any one ever do that? Is there an easy way?

RE: Pipes
Took mine off,
Easy to do. I got advice from another site and this is what they said to do.
Take a peice of strong fishing line and work it back and forth behind the reflector.
Be careful i cut the hell out of my hands.
Try to keep the fishing line next to the reflector not the fork.
When the reflector is off you are left with a peice of rubber that peels off fairly easy.
If you keep the fishing line next to the fork the rubber is harder to remove but still comes off with nothing but rubbing it off with your hand.
I didnt have to use no chemicals but i have heard of some using wd-40 to make it easier to remove the rubber.

RE: Pipes
I just popped off my rear reflectors (the red ones) yesterday and I love the look on my rear fender. I used the hair dryter and hand trick. Then what sticky crap was left I used rubbing alcohol and cotton *****. Didn't leave any marks, good as new.

RE: Pipes
I removed all of my reflectors. Used the fishing line with a hair drier to heat them up. All four came off easily, for the residue I used a littleWD40 on a rag and the excess glue and rubber came righ off.
