I've removed stickers from chrome. WD40 works great. Also hair dryers work to get the object off, then WD40 gets the sticky stuff off. Better hear what others say about paint. [/align]

THE SOFTAIL GUYS HAD A THREAD GOING ON THE SUBJECT...FISHING LINE WAS MENTIONED TOO, DENTAL FLOSS MADE ONE GUYS BIKE "MINTY FRESH" HE SAID...

A BODY GUY ON MY MAIL ROUTE'S TIP WAS, HAIR DRYER, AND MINIMAL/NO USE OF ANY PETROLEUM BASED SOLVENTS...

HEAT THE REFLECTOR AND PEAL AT IT GENTLY, THE FLOSS/LINE WORKS GREAT HERE...THEN ITS JUST WORKING OFF ALL THAT GOOEY CRAP LEFT BEHIND... THEN WAX ON WAX OFF...

I used fishing line for my front orange reflectors.Actually, the second reflector separated from the adhesive rather easily and then I just peeled the adhesive from the fork. I think I used Goo Gone or something to get it all off. I haven't gotten around to the red ones yet...

I used fishing line, Goo Gone and an old credit crad. Took less then five minute to remove the rear (red) reflectors.

The reflectors are not "glued" on, they are "stuck" on using 3M two sided, some say double sided, tape.
