Default Reflectors

I would like to remove reflectors from my forks and rear fender on my 2010 deluxe. Will some fishing line and goof off work without any noticable areas?

Yes.

I like to use a hair dryer to soften the adhesive and then fishing line or dental floss and WD 40 for the residue

As said above, heat with hair dryer to soften adhesive, and slowly pull the reflector off. If any residue remains, use WD 40 or GOO GONE NOT
Goof Off.

It's all about a hair dryer and some fishing line

A big hammer and chisel will work wonders on those reflectors.

After reading the threads yesterday, I got mine off in about 15 minutes. Just go slow.
