Fried Bugs!
Anyone have tips for getting the leftovers of fried bugs off the pipes? I got VH black pipes and is starting to look like the bottom of a used frying pan. I tried a couple of safe solutions and even WD40....still signs of it. The black grime is on them pretty damn good.
Thanx.
Thanx.

Use a $.95 net sponge found at WalMart and other fine discount junk stores. It is a yellow sponge wrapped in a white fishnet. They will not scratch the finish, and grabs bugs like nobody's business! I use them on my show cars.

It's been mentioned in a lot of threads about getting bugs off to use a solution of Hydrogen Peroxide. I can't remember the ratio but you could just do a search for Hydrogen Peroxide and you would find it.

This works great on windshields also with a microfiber towel.
Regular chrome polish also works on bugs on the pipes.

Good for getting them off of a windshield also. Had a buddy teach me that. I get in from riding--wet down a clean soft towel and drape it over the front of my windshield. Wait an hour or so --remove towel---use soft cloth and bugs come right off without chemicals.

I gotta admit, I am sort of relieved to rear the thread. From the title, I thought it might be some sick receipt.

Go to a Yamaha or Honda dealer & get a can of that Original spray stuff. About the size of a can of spray paint. It's the best. Use it on everything --- windshield, paint, chrome, EVERYTHING. You'll be shocked how little you'll have to work to get it clean. That's all I use anymore.
