breakout reflector removal?
Ok, I've thought of removing the side reflectors, what is the best way to go about it. I'm cool with the rear one and want to leave it on. But the side ones need to go, do I just rip them off or take some fishing line and work it back & forth. Share some tips on doing this in a clean manner.

Thank you for YOUR opinion now troll your SORRY *** to the next thread .
I really don't care if you remove the Reflectors or not it is funny as hell . Black out the bike remove the reflectors and dash into the night as invisible as possible . ( very smart)

I used a heat gun and fishing line as well to remove them but 3M General Purpose Adhesive Remover to get the remaining sticky stuff off. Followed up with a coat of wax as the 3M stuff will strip everything off but is labeled as clearcoat safe.

I seriously doubt if they don't see your brake lights and signals, that reflectors will help at all. I personally can't stand the way they look, makes the entire bike look tacky to me, lol.

That wasn't an opinion it was a statement. When was the last time you posted something helpful! You're full of to many opinions and not enough knowledge. Trolling threads to start a debate....original!

CAREFULLY wiggle a screwdriver in there to break down the 3M tape backing. Wiggle the reflector back and forth while you're doing that. Be patient and keep working and don't twist heavily or you may crack the paint or worse yet bend the fender. If you take your time and keep working at it with a small tipped long screw driver and screwdriver small twist both left and right sides and wiggle the reflector back and forth it will eventually come out. Takes about 10 minutes or so. Taking the fender off may work, but I actually don't see any reason to as I don't ever plan on putting that thing back on. As for those asking why remove the reflector? Well the reflector makes it look like a bicycle, but more importantly it's so you can add the edge LED bar assembly which has a MUCH cleaner look. http://chromeglow.com/products/turn-...taillight-kit/
With the exception of removing that reflector this was one of the easier mods I've done. Looks great! It's as if Harley anticipated this mod on the breakout as the wiring slides easily through the mounting plate and there is even a hole towards the seat for the wires to go through. I was shocked at how easy this was to do.
