You're kidding, right?

I'm between Austin and San Antonio, and I've had junebugs BREAK my aux lamps. Brown moth season is almost as bad here as Love bugs in Georgia/Florida.

I use the moist wipes (baby wipes). Knocks off even the toughest bug juice.

I simply spray the entire bike down. Put some dawn dish liquid in a 5 gal. bucket and fill with water. Spray the entire bike down again, and wash with the dawn. When I'm done, I have a beer if not going for a ride. By the time the beer is done, the bike is dry. Then I clean the bike with windex. I have denim paint doncha know. Then another beer and put the bike to bed.

Just water for me let them soak and most times they will all wipe off.

I do use lots of Micro Fiber towels because towels with bug parts on them will scratch.
Nice bike!

Are those 14's or 16's?
