definitely get a set. I hated they way they looked and put it off forever but now that they are on my bike they are not so bad.

Just apply some heat and they should pry right off.

The replacements come with a detailed instruction sheet that includes this:

Remove Puck

NOTE
Take care not to damage the finish on the frame/fuel tank.

1. To break the adhesive bond, apply isopropyl alcohol along the perimeter edge if the existing puck at the upper rear or the lower rear corner. Wipe off excess alcohol.
2. See Figure 1. Fit fingers under upper or lower corner edge and pry to loosen puck.

NOTE
If the puck fit prevents getting finger tips under puck, cover the blade of a putty knife or similar toll with duct tape, to prevent scraping the frame, and pry up one corner of the puck.

3. Slip fingers under the loose corner of the puck and slowly pull the puck away from the frame. Apply isopropyl alcohol as needed to break any remaining adhesive bond.
4. Clean adhesive from painted finish with isopropyl alcohol. Wipe up excess alcohol with cloth.

I think the puck looks a lot better then a big dinted frame.
