Dental floss gets it off quickly. I second the Goo Gone to get the sticky stuff off of the fender.

Fishing line works too, but just park it in the sun for an hour or two and it will pull right off. then goo gone.

Careful with the goo gone. Some other forum member says the goo gone has some fine abrassives in it.

1) Heat it up pretty good with a blow dryer or leave your bike in the driveway with the sun on it for a bit.
2) Fishing line or dental floss to pop the reflector. Make sure you get as much of the adhesive as you can.
3) Warm soapy water and keep heating with blow dryer to get the left over adhesive and foam off.

I was worried goo gone was going to jack up my paint.
