LOL. I suppose it is crazy talk. But for one moment, consider this rant....

We complain bitterly about the "cagers" who smack into our bikes and our bodies and take the lives of our friends because they "didn't see us."

So what do some do? They wear black jackets. Black helmets. Oh yeah, and the little half ones too that don't offer as much protection. Then they take their reflectors off. Oh, but don't worry because the loud pipes will save our lives....

I understand it's a personal choice. But for gods sakes, bikers are 37 TIMES more likely to die in a fatal accident than those in cars. According to the Hurt report those risks can be roughly cut in half by wearing visible gear.

Of course the cagers don't see us.

So to the OP....do what you want but is it more important to look stylish or to be safe? You decide.

OK. Rant over. Return to your normal lives. And thanks for reading this.

Ride safe!

 

the last 4 bikes I've did, The Son and I use hair dryers to heat them up a little and just pull them off, clean up with wd40 and then wax.

thanks for the ideas. hopefully it won't take to long

 

Like others have said, it's a piece of cake. Just heat it up a little with a heat gun or hair dryer, take a piece of fishing line and slide it behind the reflectors, and with a sawing motion push down on the fishing line. If you put more pressure towards the fork side than the reflector side, you will have less residue to clean off. Then just take some WD-40 or Goo Gone and clean off the glue. Very easy.

If you are taking a reflector off of a painted surface, use the same procedure, but definitely use WD-40 to remove the residue. It won't hurt the paint and works great.
