and LOVING it! when its parked i feel real bad to let such a nice ride look like that. but when the choice is ride or clean-ride seems to win out every time.

 

I read the other day from another members post to use hydrogen peroxide on the bugs. I am in Florida andthe love bugs cover you bike in one ride. H202 really works. spray it on and waite then rub off. Reapply until they are gone. Works great and does not harm the paint or windshield.

 

I use just hot water and a towel, works for me.

 

Full detail cleaning once a week for me. I enjoy getting out in the garage with the tunes going and knocking down a few beers while keeping her looking shiney and bugless.

 

Wash around once a month unless it is extremely dirty. I use detailing spray in between washes to get the bug guts off of the fairing and hose it down to get dust off. I like it to be clean but it doesn't have to look like I drove it right off of the showroom floor every time I ride.

Oh and by extremely dirty I mean this. This was after East Coast Sturgis last year.

 

I got smeared a couple days ago riding from the glades up thrugh the center of state (FL).
the love bugs are kinda interesting how they come in waves like heavy rain. I'd go 10 miles with just a few splats here and there, then for a mile or two they'd be blanket heavy like smoke clouds. Stopping for fuel I literally used a finger to 'scrape' the layer off around my goggles (used my left hand for face cover when the herds were heavy)

 

Love bugs...[:@] Typically wash mine once a month because when I wash it I'm ridin' in the rain the next day. But with the love bugs...have to wash the fairing every night.

Any good ideas how to get the love bugs off your tooth?

Peace,

 

Tooth?? Youonly have one tooth??

 

live in Fl also-central fl orl/apopka area-getting hot already

 

My bike looks just like it does on my signature everytime I ride. I just love the bling!
