I also like Bugslide. I have been using it for many years now.
I always used Bugslide as well and thought it was great stuff. But then I discovered Diamond Finish and I feel it works equally well and maybe even better. It less expensive than Bugslide. I see the OP is from Shawano. I get Diamond Finish at Doc's Harley in Bonduel.
hydrogen peroxide diluted with water.
As stated, warm water on a cotton towel, let it soak on the bugs for a while, then wash with your favorite car wash solution.
Prevention is the cure to getting them off easily. Once you have the fairing clean, two or three coats of your favorite polish/wax/ceramic coating will make it easy to get the bugs off.
The sooner you can get them off the better (like after your ride), if you let them harden a few days it becomes difficult and may etch the paint surface.
Hunters Bug Kutter seems to work well. It's a spray on foam so it clings to saturate. Can be a little expensive and hard to find.
Wolfgang Uber auto wash- put it in a spray bottle. Tough bugs get the garment steamer treatment.
Clothes dryer anti-cling sheets.
Wet and wipe.
Thanks for all the replies, great help in addressing the bug issue.
