I have the cyclone forks and want to get rid of the reflectors on the legs. Just pry 'em off?

It's been a while since I pulled the reflectors from my Cyclone, but if I remember correctly they're held on with a double-sided tape just like the XB fork reflectors. You should be able to just grab them and twist until the tape lets go. I did the same thing with my '04 Firebolt and my '07 Ulysses.

I'd use a heat gun or hair dryer to get the adhesive elastic. Just prying them off cold may leave a lot more adhesive on the forks and then you'd need to use more Goof Off.

Dental floss.. then paint thinner (don't use lacquer thinner, it may eat the powder coating).
