The Harley bug spray does a good job...but liking the idea of 50% water / 50% hydrogen peroxide in a spray bottle.

Throw a good coat or two of wax on the front of the bike after a handwash. I been doing that to my cars, trucks and bikes for quite awhile now. Easily comes off with a micro fiber towel and quick detailer or another handwash.
