    Can anyone please tell me are the orange reflectors on the fork legs just stuck on with double sided adhesive as I would like to remove them.

    Thanks.

    Make sure you stick it back on properly. I had to remove one from the radiator cowl when I changed the coolant last year and despite my best efforts it still manage to escape when out on a ride. And can I find a replacement? Can I buggery!! 2.5cm x 9cm seems to be a really rare size. Would probably be easier to find one that's the size of a dustbin lid!!
    SIGH!

    Warm them up, then use dental floss to 'cut' them off. Not done myself, but saw this suggested on a couple of bike pages.

    Now in the bin along with that lollipop that hung under the number plate, much better. Thanks for the replies.

    Geoff - good luck come MoT time if you get a picky tester. A rear reflector is I think compulsory so if you've taken that off you may have an issue.
