Hi I am thinking of removing the reflectors on my FXLRS which are on the rear guard and front forks, anyone done this before?

Yeah did mine not long ago. Heatgun, fishing wire/floss/string etc, and wax and grease remover for any residue.

A hammer and chisel is quicker.

I'm surprised that anyone here still has them on their bike.

Hair dryer and thin fishing line worked for me.
You’ll need a glove to wiggle it with the hair dryer blasting away on your fingernails. Once it’s moving just run the line behind it and wiggle it off.
The fun police can nail you for taking them off though.

My bike doesn't have reflectors. I'm thinking about buying some and attaching them to the bike just to be different.
Where should I put them and how do you stick the fuckers on?

JB weld is good for applying them.

If you can't get JB weld then liquid nails will get you outa the shit, bang a couple on ya helmet as well, can't be too safe these days

And just to be clear, anybody putting them on their helmets, it works the same as a box trailer;
orange at the sides only , clear/plain at the front, and red at the rear.

I think yu spray cooking oil on the area of each side before attacking helps the look of the bike in the long run
