Front fork reflector removal
How difficult is it to remove these reflectors? I replaced the turn sig + front fender lite with smoke lenses, made a HUGE difference. Now, the front fork reflector stick out like a fart in an oxygen tent. Heat gun + dental floss? Don't want a mess on the fork that won't clean up. THANX!

I just used a putty knife to get under the edge of it and pulled... then wiped the sticky residue with alcohol on a rag

dental floss will work, get as close to the fork as possible. 3M adhesive remover will take care of the rest

Use a hair blow-dryer, in conjunction with dental floss or mono fishing line.
Clean off residue with WD-40.

Just get under the edge and pull 'till they come off. Then use "Goo Gone" to clean off the residual glue. I've removed 6 reflectors and 2 tank emblems so far this year with no problem.
