I'm also on the boat of leaving the factory reflectors alone, and in the end, I end up liking them best and they keep the bike looking right. However, I've done my share of reflector removal and type changes to suit my fancy-shpancy of the moment, and good quality old school floss (not the Teflon looking types) works to get the reflectors off - you'll still need something to remove the adhesive, but that should slice them off the forks without damage.
