My bars are only 28 inches, but I don’t see why 32 wouldnt work.
I used a heat gun to soften up the goo holding the reflectors and then a plastic putty knife to pry them off. Same principle for the rears.

I just ordered a set of 32" bars so I'll let you know in a few weeks haha Should be good though...
As for the reflectors, I just used some nylon fishing line and "sawed" through the goop from behind the reflectors. Then you can spray on some adhesive remover (paint friendly) or sit there and rub off the stuff with your fingers
