Reflectors on rear fenders

[Oldster]

Have any of you folks pulled the reflectors off the rear fenders? I haven't yet but it's getting close, I really don't like them! I guess if I damage the paint, I can always put some back on. I'm thinking some Goop-off should work. So, advice?

Heat them gently with a hair dryer and fishing line in a sawing motion to loosen the adhesive and then clean up residue with WD-40.

Just be aware that they're an inspectable item on some state safety inspections. Check your local laws before you pop em off.

Trike Lady has you covered on this

Yep, I did it like Trike Lady said, did the forks too.

Thanks Trike Lady, that's what I'll do!

I removed the fender reflectors from mine. Replace them with LED lights purchased on ebay. As far as I'm concerned the more lights the better.

I took mine off when I got it repainted and threw them away. They are just held on with 2-way tape.
….And yes, as mentioned, the reflector does help with “reflective” and some states it may fail a state inspection.
I have TONS of lighting (front & rear) on my TG that totally overpowers any reflector, so I’m more safe than any reflector could ever give. I even changed the lower tour pack lights to the Kuryakyn “Tracer” lights since they also not only illuminate as running… but also as turn & brake too.

Here a video of my lighting:

Red, is 100% correct here...........I couldn't get mine inspected, because of no red reflectors on rear of my bike....
Besides, the more visual you have so others can see you the better..........
