Yes, the Goo-Gone has a light abrasive and will cut through the clear coat if applied to vigorously. I also used the hair dryer method, then a small flat blade screwdriver to pry them off. Rubbed most of the remaining adhesive off with my fingers. WD-40 for the residue.

Reflectors

Hair dryer, WD40, and a plastic putty knife. After removing reflectors use plastic putty knife and WD40 to remove adhesive.

After pulling off the reflectors nothing is faster then a 3M Eraser Wheel.

Just removed mine on a Deluxe. I just took a vice grip to the reflectors on the front forks and pried the reflectors off. No reminents of sticky double sided tape left on forks. It took literally 2 minutes. The rear reflectors were a different story. Used some fishline and DW40. Took a few minutes longer. All done without any issues.
