Good idea!
what is the best way to remove those reflectors?

 

Fishing Line---use it like dental floss....wrap some around each hand and work it between the reflector and the fork tube etc..any residual sticky remnants can be easily removed with a bit of WD40 spray on a towel.

I used 50 Lb test Spiderwire fishing line,but that's sort of overkill.

 

Yopu could try a hair drier to heat up and soften the glue. Then use Go-Gone of something to remove any that is left behind.
Someone suggested heating it up and using some thin monofiliment fishing line drawn tight behind it to sort of cut it off.
Not sure if it would work, but if I was doing mine I would try that if it didn't just come off by twisting once its heated enough.

 

Damn T3, you beat me too it.

 

Beautiful bike!

Ride safe and enjoy...

 

We were on the same page Citoriplus.... My chance to chime in with some low tech type of advice,I'm not much good beyond that.

Nice thing about Trains is that the rear reflectors are easily removed from that black crinkle finish...The front fork reflectors required more effort.

 

I hadn't thought of the Trains wrinkle finish. I was thinking of the chrome on my Custom, but your right it could make it easier, at least to hide the fact that there was ever anything there. If the chrome is new it shouldn't be too bad to get off, and even easier to clean up afterward.I'm going to have to give that idea a little thought. I am not exactly happy with them on my bike, but I need "something" there to satisfy the "powers that be" come annual inspection time.
Funny thing is that they gave me a reflector to put under the plate in the rear. They gave it to me because I had a plate to put over the legal plate that says Vietnam Veteran on it. They couldn't put the reflector on because the vet plate extended down too far and covered it. Its not truely legal without it, but they weren't going to bother because the plate was for a veteran. Well I took it home and decided to redrill throguh both plates and the plastice holder so it would go on properly.
Stupid me, I'm a real goody two shoes sometimes. One problem, the first time the wife and I go out together on the bike I go down the driveway and bounce a little at the end, as soon as it does I hear a horrable noise, sounds like the tranny is coming apart under my butt. But it instantly goes away so I slowly ride off, until I get a hundred yards down the road and hit a dip. Then the noise comes back momentarily and going away again. The wife is more than a little freaked out, and so am I so I pull over and start looking the bike over for something falling off or a big fat hole in something. Nothing can be seen as wrong, until I walk behind the bike and notice there is no relfector where it should be. The plastic is there but the reflector is gone, then I notice that there is a circular "burn" mark that cuts half way up the plastic. That's when I realized what had happened. The plastic reflector plate is angled down a little to make sit more virtically. Unfortunatly with only me on the bike nothing happened. But with both my wife and me on it the suspension sagged allowing the tire to hit it.
The first time it probably obliterated the reflector, the second time the tire "burned" a tire shaped notch into the bottom edge.
When I jokingly hollered at the dealer he laughed and gave me another one. This one isn't angled as much. But I haven't bothered to put it on since then. Just too lazy I guess.

 

there is no rear reflector on it.
I guess because of the HD custom paint set.

I'll try the fishing line and heat method!

 

Its just a little strip of black plastic that snaps on to the holes below the tail light in the plastic plate mount.

 

Nice bikes, did you get them from Wildwood? Thought I saw those 2 bikes there at Roar to the Shore.
