reflectors, i used wd-40 and 3m adhesive remover. then if fishing line wont do it, a CLEAN plastic scraper (for bondo) will get under the edges and help cut through the tape and won't harm the finishes.

+1...took me all of that time too. FYI...If you use your wife/girlfriends hairdryer make sure you put it back where you found it and not leave it in the garage to get lost. They tend to get upset when you have to explain why their hairdryer was in the garage and worse...you dont know where you put it!!

My method: Leave the scoot sit in the hot sun, spray WD-40 around the top & sides of the fleckers, walk in the house to grab a beer, a rag, & a piece of floss(mint flavored). Walk out about 5-10 minutes later & scrape the floss down the fork tube behind the flecker, & then wipe the excess WD & sticky stuff off.....Done, well besides walking back in house to get another beer.
