Any recommendations on how to take the reflectors off my slim?

 

Assume you're talking about on the forks. I just pulled mine off by hand and got the residue off with a product called "goo gone" I think. Heating them up first may pull off more of the residue with the reflector.

 

I've always just pulled them off, they are stuck on with 3M double sided tape. I know some people have used dental floss, but I didn't have a problem just pulling them off by hand. I can't remember what I used to remove the residue from the tape, but for some reason I think it was rubbing alcohol and a shop rag with a bit of elbow grease to get it all off.

 

I've heard of guys usin fishing line and goo gone.

 

Leave them on and live longer

 

Thats what i did,WD40 works also

 

I tried heating them with an Industrial heat gun and it probably helped but, all in all, not that much. I tried dental floss after heating but the floss kept breaking. I didn't try fishing line.

I ended up just pulling them off and using a thin piece of plastic to remove as much of the thicker residue as I could. I then kept soaking the remaining residue with Goo Gone and used the plastic to remove the rest. It probably took 5-10 minutes per reflector.

Goo Gone will not effect the metal finish, even chrome. I used it on the aluminum lower fork reflectors and the reflectors on the chrome sissy bar sideplates.

 

I used heat gun then then fishing line.
WD 40 to clean of residue

 

Now that's just crazy talk....

 

fishing line and goo gone worked well for me.
