Default Removing Reflectors??

Was wondering on how to go about removing the lower reflectors on my '08 Street Bob front forks? Looks like they may be just stuck on there with some type of adhesive, but would like to know before I go to pop them off if there is a screw or anythning that holds them on.

Fishing line (but wear gloves) and Goo-Gone (let it soak a bit) in the sun did it for me. Any residue of the adhesive can be carefully removed pretty easily with a rag soaked in goo gone.

Very easy to remove. I just took them off my '08 Fat Bob. No screws on mine just tape. I heated them up some with a hairdryer. Then used fishing line to remove them. Cleaned off the remaining adhesive with my thumb and some goo-gone. Took about 15 minutes to remove the front and rear. Looks alot better. My FXDF is vivid black

I used a looped twist tie to help remove my reflectors.
A hair dryer and W-40 or Goo Gone works for me.

Instead of fishing line, I actually used dental floss after I soaked em with WD40 and they came right off.

One more option:
Just decide that you want them on for ever,
and then they'll just fall off!! lol
