Heat them up with a hair dryer and you should be able to pull them off without using any tools. I also agree with the goo off. Works great.

If you just set it out in the sun for a while they will pull off by hand and the little bit of sticky crap that is left will mostly roll off off and use a little WD to finish. Dental floss will definatly not remove them.

Dental floss wasn't working for me, just kept breaking. I put a stronger cloth behind it, and just pulled on it and it broke right off. Goo gone worked great though for getting the adhesive off.

I just left those on there. They aren't really that noticeable.

I've removed many of the rear fender reflectors, and it's no different that the front tube reflectors.

Leave the bike out in the sun for a while, use fishing line, and finish off with WD40.

Not a big deal at all.

I took mine off the forks and fenders by using a hair dryer to heat them up and pull them off then used Motsenbockers Lift Off spray to remove the left over adhesive. Worked like a charm.
I also used the Lift Off spray yesterday to remove some tar that stuck to my boot from the street then got all over my foot pegs. Came right off.
