I think the amber reflectors on the chrome fork lowers is detracting.  Has anyone removed them and if show how?

Question should be Who keeps them.  To remove use a hair dryer and warm them up, dental floss will cut through the tape.  Goof off cleans the sticky stuff then wax.

Mine lasted until I got the bike home, just like the red ones one the bag guards..

Yeah, second thing I removed after the heel shifter. Like Chains said, little heat from hair dryer mine came right off. On a new bike if you ride fast enough they may blow off on your way home. lol

One side of my new bike came off almost by itself.

That was my first mod

No doubt, gotta go. I used fishing line, but dental floss sounds like a better idea

Heat gun and 50lbs test fishing line and a beer per side during clean up. The cheapest mod you can make and well worth it I must say.

Looks like I have a little winter day project.  Thanks for all the advise.

Dental floss is too soft.  Heat 'em up like Lloyd said and use fishing line.  The newer they are, the easier they'll come off.  Definitely a good excuse for a beer or two.

My buddy and I crack up at you reflector snobs.  Please...never quit.  I don't need much in the way of entertainment and this is the bomb on a winter day.

Picture on my profile was b4 mod!

Jimmy, just make sure if your ever out this way you stop in!
I have a whole drawer full of old reflectors.
I'm hoping they will appreciate in value better than my bikes have.

I used a plastic putty knife.  The .29 cent kind from the hardware store, no scratches or marring.  David
