I ended up putting the HD bar on the fairing it got so bad on my Black EG. You should see my lights and the lower fork legs. Looks like a research project for a science fair.

Anyone ever try WD-40?

May sound silly but it works wonders on bug juice. It has a Kerosene basein it.(that's also why you should never use it as a lubricant)

It also works great on road tar. I've never had any paint issues with it but I do clean it off and quick wax after.

Enjoy --> Reksul

Like others have said, I take an old bath towell and soak it in hot water and lay it on the fairing, let it soak and the bugs just wipe off. Also I make sure to keep the fairing waxed before any long rides. This seams tro help.

I also use Honda cleaner on my whole bike, I haven't washed it with water for at least 2 years. Spray on bugs & wait a short time & they come right off.

That cleaner everyone calls "Honda Cleaner" can now be purchased under another name. It is called Plexus. It works very well.
