From a concurrent post... maybe the wipes are the way to go.

I used to swear by Plexus....now I swear at them. Wont buy their stuf anymore and I hope they put themselves out of business with their crazy prices. I now get the stuff that the Honda dealer sells. Even the small size can I keep in the bike is only $3.50.

Went from Plexus to Pledge and then took advice from this forum and tried the 50/50 peroxide/water. Bugs foam and turn white. Some fall off without wiping. Apparently the peroxide breaks down the protein in the insects. Best spray-on I've found. Almost as good a hot wet towels. A bottle of peroxide is only about $2.00. Still use Pledge after cleaning to make 'er shine.

Thanks for the tip..
A damp/wet towell draped across your windshield/fairing helps to soften things up too where the bugs just slide off.

+1 on the HP and water! After using that I follow up with Lemon Pledge.

Seems like after you carry it awile it looses it's power, freash works great, But really, Get lemon pledge, been using it for 7 years and works great every time. Plexus is great also, the only differance in Pledge and Plexus is lable and price.. Buddy works at a body shop for 30 years said nuthn wrong with pledge cept if you repaint you have to sand almost to metal or you can get fisheye..
