Addition through subtraction, very satisfying.

I just grabbed them and twisted them off with my fingers. Took some effort but the willingness to get those ugly *** things off my bike overcame the finger burn. lol I have used this method 3 times now and every time 100 percent of the glue / tape came off with the reflectors.

Use plastic or wood popsicle stick to scrape the remaining goo off after you let the WD40 or goo b gone sit on it for about 5 minutes. The plastic and wood will not scratch the forks.

I yelled at mine and they got scared and fell off.

Actually I used a garden type hand shovel tool thing and they really did just kind of popped off. No floss, no googone no bullshita.

Chrome exchange runs $160. Easy enough to DIY as well.

Next spring on the chrome lowers. On a tight schedule. Me & the bike get on the auto train in VA headed for FL in 20 days & don't come home until spring. North east winters blow. 100% better with out orange reflectors.
