Default Removing reflectors from my FBoy Lo?

Ok guys, I want to get these off my new Lo but not sure if there is an easy way to go about it. I tried fishing line and did not have much luck.....maybe because I didn't want to screw anything up.

Anyway, suggestions are welcome......with so many great looking Lo mods I know there is a way to get this done.

Thanks in advance!

i just grabbed my front ones and pulled them off. Then used goo gone to get the residue off. I left the back ones on though. My detachable rack or sissy bar cover them any way.

If you can't just pull them off, use some fishing line to saw through the glue on the back of the reflectors. My front ones were stuck really well so I had to use this but then they just popped off.

Waxed dental floss and WD-40. Left very little residue.

Default I don't understand...

I understand if it's a black purist thing, but wouldn't you be invisible at night? I do ride at night and really want the morons in cages to see me. It's cool lookin n all, but I don't get it...
