Fishing line works very well. Use it behind the reflector with a sawing motion and it will cut thru the double sided tape. Then Use the blow drier to help remove the rest of the tape that is on the fender.

Dental floss works too. Heat it up like ghostrider69 said. You can also leave your bike out in the sun. Need to use warm soapy water or WD40 to get the tape behind the reflectors off.

Just not too much you don't want to mess up your paint.

I sued to run the azece air cleaner cover way back before I got my RSD air filter. Good stuff for sure and reasonable as well. Plus, they sent me a free t shirt.
