Got those dang reflectors off the bags actually easier than I thought but it did leave the double stick tape on still.  What should I use.  I got most of it off of one but didn't want to rub to hard to get all the way off for fear of scratching the clear coat.  Ideas?

Spray it down with WD40, let it sit for about 5-10 minutes.  Wipe off what you can.   May have to do it several times but it will work.

There is also a product called Goo Gone that will work also.  http://googone.com/default.aspx

I've used WD40 and works good.  Keep rubbing till clean.

denatured alcohol works great and won't spoil you paint if you somehow manage to get some on the fender. Go Gone also works super

I used goo-gone, but all of the above will work.  Most auto stores have goo-gone or something similar.  A clean cotton rag will help get it off of the bike without scratching the paint.  The remaining goop will stick to the rag and it will wipe right off.

Goof Off is the best. After the reflector is gone, use a cloth to apply the goof off. The sticky stuff will peal of in your fingers.Maybe put a coat of wax on when youre done.

It also works good for insect repellant. Don't ask me why, it just does and you don't smell like bear grease as with the Woodsman's Fly Dope that L L Bean sells.
