I ripped 'em off with my hands.  Unless they've changed sumptin', they're just held on with double-sided tape.

I pulled them off then used slighly abrasive wax to remove any leftovers. Also involved a very fresh razor. Did the same with all my emissions and vin etc silver frame stickers.

Thanks for your help.  The reflectors were easy, it was the sticky stuff that was harder to get off.  Still working on it.

Try WD40.

paint safe brake clean (or goof off, or nail polish remover, or rubbing alcohol) for the residue

Dental floss to get them started, hands for the rest of the way, thumbs for most of the adhesive, followed by Goo Gone for the remaining residue.

Just write Harley on them with a black sharpie and park it in front of a walmart.   Gone in 60 seconds.

Heat gun.
If done correctly... both reflector hardware and glue comes off 100% in one piece.
