    Anyone have any suggestions as to the easiest and safest way to take the front reflectors off?  The ones sitting on the front forks.  I don't like them :)

    Yes.

    Go to the garage, spray them liberally with something like WD40 or an Orange residue cleaner. Then either slip some fishing line between the reflector and the fork and work it down, or slowly twist em off with your hands.

    Its shit easy and you would have to have an arse for fingers to screw it up. (I actually dont know how you could screw it up)

    You can work them off with your hands and use some grease remover to get the remaining glue off. Leave the bike in the sun for an hour or two before hand and you'll have no issues!

    I just pulled them away from the forks. Need to get a pretty good grip on them. No marks left and far better looking without them.

     I just parked it in the sun to soften the glue then used a bit if dental floss, bit of  wd40 to clean it up.
