after looking at some gallery pics here, i noticed that there are ALOT of people who leave the factory installed reflectors on their bikes. even as a kid with my BMX bikes, i would tear those reflectors off the minute i brought it home.... and the same goes for all of my motorcycles, including my RKC. hell- i my RKC didnt even make it into my garage before i was peeling, picking and cleaning the reflectors/stickers off of it.

that is all. you can resume to your regularly scheduled program.

(and yes- i waited until i was sure i wouldnt damage the frame powdercoat before i ripped the frame reflector off which is in my sig pic)

 

I couldn't agree with you more. Cheapest and easiest way to clean up a bike.

 

I agree with you 100%. Oh but wait! I do believe I detect a bit of a reflector, right behind your engine guard in your sig. pic.

 

damnit! you beat me to the edit!!!!

I have been reluctant to remove the reflectors on the frame down tubes...I didn't want to damage the paint. How did you remove those? I got rid of all the rest of the reflectors and warning stickers.

 

I want to be seen. I'll leave my reflectors on. I did remove the "safety sticker" for the saddle bag guards though.

Hack

 

Nothing like living dangerously!

 

so go one...give us a clue as how to get them off the tins and the frame without damage...please!

 

Somewhere or another I heard about guys getting the reflectors off fork slidersusing olive-oil and dental floss but I can't see how that would work on these damn plastic pedestal things ondown-tubes.
