I removed mine on the front by just twisting them off, seriously. On the back I used a plastic gyprock/putty knife to losen them. Don't use a steel blade or screwdriver in case you slip.

The Front are held by black double sided tape and the rear is a type of cellulose based white tape.  Both leave a residue that can be removed with an orange based solvent like "Orange Power" - this is great stuff for removing all sorts of spots that require a solvent based solution without the chance of damaging any original finish. Get it from supermarkets or hardware stores. If the residue on the rear is a little hard to shift just get some kitchen paper and fold it over double to about the size of the tape. Soak the paper with the solvent and let it sit for a few minutes to allow the adhesive to disolve.

You can warm up the tape a little with a heat lamp or a heat gun or park your ride in the sun and let the surfaces loosen up which makes removal easier.

If you can get your hands on a product called "Prepsol" (manufactured by Dulux for the automotive industry) This is used as a wax and grease remover prior to refinishing and also reapplying badges and moldings after removal/replacement. The best tar remover and it is paint safe.

Good luck.

Pulled mine off today with my fingers. Did this very gently and most of the tape came off with the reflctors. Used a bit of metholated spirits to get the gunk off took 5 minutes.

I've got the same bike.

For the rears, I masked around the reflectors and then, with a steady hand, used a stanley knife to cut thru the double sided tape, leaving some of the tape and sticky residue on the paint work. Then I used a rag and lots of eucalyptis oil to remove the residue. Easy. Unfortunately, I stuffed up the removal of the front reflectors as they where stuck hard. So now it looks like I'm gunna spend a few $$$ to get the front sliders chromed....Doh!

Have just removed mine with the thin fishing line method.

Leave your bike in the warm sun and loop some thin fishing line behind it and pull line down the reflector.

The good gear to clean up the double sided tape is Goof Off, I was a bit sus on it so tried it on the wife’s car first, with no problems.

It works like magic. Can be brought from Bunning’s.

I would still use it with care and remove as quickly as poss.

It is great for removing old rego stickers of car windscreens.

Makes the bike look shit loads better.

Nothing like a good laugh in the morning...

yep,if you cant wait for the wd40 to get into the DS\tape overnight,just grab the wife's hairdryer and that will soften the glue on the tape and just RIP "EM OFF with your hands.

blody nice you have there Ozy.

Seems to be snowballing this thread,something has been started i ripped mine off this afternoon after a quick ride to dromana ......cheers Jake

This has gotta be the longest and simplest thread to date,  the removal of the reflectors was the first mod I did on me bike two and a half years ago, fishingline and DW40.......

Bt

Greg,

I use fishing line to get the reflector off, and eucaliptus oil to get the glue off. Works a treat.
