Breakout reflectors
Thank Goodness...
Mine would not come out with just prying up with a screwdriver either and I was afraid to go to far as I might crack the paint. One of the raised "****" came out of the slot but the other one I cut off with a dremmel tool, came out no problem. Believe it or not though - because of the huge gap between the fender and the tire, I put it back on - I think it looks better on.

I used the techniques suggested on here to remove the back reflector (slot tabs, rocking back/forth
, LIGHT Screwdriver pry
) and it just won't come out
. While I greatly appreciate this thread and the info provided by the members.....WTF?!! Going back tonight and trying again
.
BTW, how do you guys like the new LED taillight strip available on ebay:

I'm not sure it is a great idea to take that REAR reflector off.
When your bike is parked at night, that reflector is likely the only thing that a car driver approaching your bike, or worse, backing towards it, sees.
I can see taking off the reflectors on the both sides, as there is plenty of chrome to reflect when a car driver is coming towards your bike, either forward or backing up near it, but that rear reflector, personally I'd leave that one alone.

With all the morons driving today AND not seeing a large piece of Fire apparatus with all lights blazing and reflectors. I leave my reflectors on; as little as they do.
