    Hey Guys

    Wanting to remove the reflectors from the front forks, what's the best way to do it without damaging the forks?

    Cheers

    Plenty of threads about this topic.

    either gently pull fishing line using 2 hands..in behind the reflector to break the bond between the 2 sided tape and fork....or you can use the method I used.....I slightly pushed a plastic spatula in behind the reflector, and held it there for a while, then angled it slightly, then the reflector simply peeled off.

    then use WD40 to clean the residue glue from the 2 sided tape off he painted forks.

    hope this info helps.

    As previously mentioned, park it in the sun; slide a plastic spatula between the reflector and fork leg and boom..................she'll come right off. Clean it up and you're good to go!

    fastest and easiest i found is heat them up with a hair dryer and twist.

    Rub your hands vigorously up and down each fork, over and over until the friction and motion makes you so horny you decide to leave them on.

    Jism is good at removing reflectors, but you should at least buy them a drink first.

    If you are in VIC, perfect time to remove reflectors with the heat we had. Just peeled right off.



    Glue needs to go ofcourse
