Default Reflector removal

Anyone know an easy way to remove the red reflectors from the saddlebag guards?

Heat them up and just pull them off, or you can use some fishing string or dental floss to get behind them.

Dental floss takes them right off.

Do it in this sequence heat it up with a hair dyer till it will wigle a little then spray wd-40 on it then double up on some fishing line and use that like a saw then it should fall of or you will be able to just twist it off then just goof off or goo gone to get the rest of the residue off and then repeat it on the other side.

Ditto to peppi,
fishing line or dental floss (minted or not!)
WD-40 on a rag will get the glue off as will a lot of other products you'll hear about.

I have always had good luck with just " grip it an rip it"[8D]

then after what i like to do is heat up the left over parts and use a credit card to gently scrape off the rubbery glue stuff, I have done this to lots of reflectors. While your at it you can get rid of the frame ones, the crash bar stickers, the air cleaner stickers and the fork ones if they haven't already disappeared.

I prefer cinnamon, but I think mint will work as well
Thanks for the tips, guy/gals
