I finally got around to busting out the hair dryer and getting those ugly reflectors off of the front forks.......it looks much cleaner without them!

Here's to ya!!! I totally agree. Matter of fact, I attempt to remove ALL emblems from All my vehicles (using the same method). I'm confused....is it the FEDS. that think the coolest bikes ever made are supposed to look like our old Schwinn Stingrays??? Took the reflectors off then, too.

Sweet looking ride Nicky- and now even better looking, no eye-catching distractions, just free to let your eyes wander across the beauty of the entire thing!

At least now HD doesn't cast a big flat boss in the fork tube for the reflector to mount on that had to be ground and filed off like the older bikes had. Really makes a difference in the looks.

Looks good, I did the same. Now we need to come up with some sort of filler for the reflector on the bag latches.

Dennis Kirk sells latch fillers and these are what I have on mine. Used the blow dryer trick to pull the red reflectors from the latches.
