Ditto..... As soon as 100yards of tarmac dries out, I'm out... It's bloody killing me having the new bike sat in the garage

Or fishing line.
Use a length to "saw" off the sticky pads holding the reflectors on.
Better than prising them off as it doesn't damage the finish on the fork leg.

Warming them with a hair dryer also helps as the glue becomes more pliable.

Think i will wait for the sun to shine on them

Do you think they will look better in the sunshine? LOL

Dental floss and a touch of WD40 to lube the cut. Works even when cold... I did mine in a freezing December on Pedro guidance. Works a treat!

Ps. The adhesive is just on double sided thin foam tape.. not actually solid glue. If that makes sense.

From the age 16-21 i spent every day peeling that foam **** off body mouldings as a panel beater.

An hr sat in the summer sun and they will come away nicely. I aint messing about cutting the foam and rubbing half the remaining foam off the strut with petrol or similar

All in hand its cool
