I'm planning on moving mine to the forks. There a many pics floating around of people who have done that, I think it looks good.
What are these inspections anyway? I guess MI doesn't have them.

On the reflectors: solid advice with the WD40, let is soak in good and it should come off. 3M makes a product that is good for removing the gunk leftover.

Can't help with the turn signals.

The front reflectors I used fishingline it worked well.

The back ones I just took a small flathead and popped out the reflector from the brackets.

I think you were steered wrong. In VA, turn signals are not required on motorcycles. I know people who have removed them completely. Looks cleaner, but I prefer to still have them.

Nope, not joking. But, I asked a friend. We don't have bike inspections (or car inspections.) You register, get plates and nobody looks at the vehicle. That was where my confusion was.
