Side Reflectors

[Grasshopper]

I have an R18 Roctane. I would like to remove the side reflectors on the front two wheel shocks, and the two saddlebags. Has anyone done this and are there any problems? Assume they are glued on? And the removal doesn't leave any gaps, etc?

Pulled my fronts off by hand, just two way tape holding them on. Put them away for re use if need be.

I use fishing line during the Summer season, or fishing line coupled with a heat-gun on low during the Winter colder seasons; get the fishing line between the double-sided tape and the fork surface, and work the line back & forth while pulling downward.

I used the same method as described above to remove the reflectors off of my Model B side cases.

Thank you very much for your replys. I was concerned that the reflectors were "plugged in", rather than glued.

Used a hair dryer as recommended. Anything left over took care of with some turps and washed up with soap and water.
Again, Thanks!

I appreciate you taking them off and they áre eye sores. Point is that they are mandatory. Just for if you happen to have periodic inspection in your count(r)y or get an overachieving cop.
My sidecar was just refused because the reflectors had the wrong homologation numbers on the side and rear of the boot.

Not in all parts of Australia and I assume it depends on each country/state.
