| I just bought an 09 Denim Black NT and it had reflectors on the rear, they came off very easy though from the denim paint. |

| I recently removed mine from my 09 Rocker C, front and rear. They came of without too much trouble by simply twisting in a clock wise motion, the small amount of residual simply polished off.......makes a geat difference.. |

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 WD40.......
Bt
Yep that's how I did mine..... |

Sprayed WD40 around the fork reflectors at night, Next morning used 50lb braid fishing line behind the reflector, gave it a yank downwards and off they came. Just picked the remains of the tape off with my fingers, took about 1 minute. NO PROBS with this method. No chance of doing any damage to the paint  |

| So let me get this right, legally, only the rear red reflector has to be on the bike, the side orange ones do not have to be there at all? |

I suppose you don't need the front ones, but I kept mine just in case I do need them for a roadworthy. Those fork reflectors look garney. Makes a cool bike look like a fucking cheap ass xmas tree from Big W  |

I used to have a 2001 FXST, I used the mrs hair dryer and her tooth string,,,whatever that is called. You gently heat the top or side of the reflector and gradually the tooth string is 'sawed' through the adhesive. The residue comes off easily with citrus cleaner. |

Thanx for all the the tips Guyz & Gals,
I have a new 2009 Softail Custom.
Went and got me 2 different sized plastic putty type knives.
Sprayed reflectors with DW40. Let settle for a minute.
Putty knife cut the front fork refletors off with reasonable ease (just take your time doing it).
The reflctors on the sissy bar (which was no longer on da bike) came off very easily.
Then I simply sprayed some more DW40 onto the remaining goo on the front forks, let settle for a while - then used the purry? (putty) knife and soft cloth to remove the remaining goooooo.
Cheers Big Ears. |

Removing the factory flectors was difficult ... only done the front ones so far, cant rush these things.
Having trouble fitting all this in the garage.
