You could also try "Goof-Off" or a similar product. Hiowever, I LIKE those reflectors as a SAFETY item.

An even better safety item is 2 more wheels, a metal cage around you and a roof.

If they can't see a headlight, a taillight and running lights on your bike then I doubt they are gonna see some silly bicycle reflectors either.

Hi, Couple minutes with the Hair Dryer, slipped some fishing line under it, pull on the adhesives remnants in a way that it peels from the forks and cleaned up the remaining bits with Goo-B-Gone. 10 minutes tops looks great....WVleo
