Question for SG owners
I have recently finished my winter mods on my '06 FLHXI, including V&H, PCII, air kit, quick detach passager back rest, round air cover, smoked turn signal covers, removed heel shifter, Streamliner shift peg, etc., etc.
I removed the 2 orange reflecters that were mounted to the front down tubes. These were held in place by 2 sided tape or something. Was easy enough, just pulled them off and used my thumb nail to remove a majority of the residue that remained. I used gasoline on a rag to remove the rest. Now this looks great, but I have one more reflector. This is a single red reflector stuck to the horizontal chrome piece directly above the tail light. Has anyone attempted to remove this one? Will my advanced removal technique described above work on this one or damage the finish?

"Rubbing alcohol will work as well, just looked at my rear and there isn't a reflector there......Hmmmmmmm "
What????? IF the dealer installed this damn thing, I'm gonna be pissed. Looks so tacky there too. Or maybe they just did not spend the extra 27 cents on the '07 models.

Mine snapped off in a tire pull at a rally. Just snap it off. Goo gone to clean off the adhesive!

RE: Question for SG owners
It is attached to the chrome section. You can pull it off and then rub or chemically removethe adhesive. I've rubbed the labels (air cleaner, etc) off also. Does anybody have a better technique for getting those nasty buggers off?
