for the front fork ones grab some fishing line or a strand from some 550 cord. slip it behind the reflector and "saw" it back and forth. it will cut right through the adhesive without messing up the paint underneath.

I had good luck using a hair dryer and some WD-40, the heat made it to where I could just pull the reflector away from the fork and then pull any remaining tape off. Wipe it down with WD-40 to get any little bits left.

I did this same thing for my front reflectors and it makes a big difference.

Thanks for the input everyone. I will tackle it this weekend. What have you done for the rear reflectors? I believe they are part of the inner fender. Should I just Dremel them off ?

The rear reflectors are part of a larger assembly, I just put a strip of electrical tape over it. It's quick and no cutting.
