Any suggestions to remove relectors from chrome Forks on an 07 SERK.  I saw a post on this web site one time and cannot find it any more.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Get behind them with some dental floss or fishing line, clean up tape residue with WD-40

Heat 'em up with a hair dryer too...that'll help soften the sticky chit.

I used a heat gun and they came right off that way.

Good luck.

I just pulled them off with a set of pliers.  High risk, but I was done in a couple of minutes.  I just rubbed the rubber and adhesive off with my fingers.   If you use WD-40, be sure to polish off the residue.

Careful with that WE-40.  You don't want to get any of that stuff on your brake rotors... :shocked2:
