Wet a towel with hot water and drape it over the fairing allowing it to lay on the contours of the fairing for about 10-15 minutes. then remove towel and wipe bugs off with a microfiber and McGuires ultimate detail spray. Works for me every time. Also if you keep a good coat of wax on it they will not stick as bad

I learned the peroxide trick from this website and it works! I pour the bottle into a spray bottle add a little water (cleverly labeled bug wash). I spray it on the fairing, lowers, windshield and anywhere else the bugs splatter.
I walk into the house, get a beer and head back out with a clean microfiber towel. By that time the bugs are white and foaming. My bike is black so it swirls very easily. I make it a point to "pop" the towel every few wipes to get the bug guts off the towel.
Sometimes it takes a second spray, soak and beer to get all of the bugs off without using any pressure or rubbing. Rubbing is bad on black it'll swirl even with the softest of towels.
It doesn't strip the wax or stain anything. I don't rinse with clean water after, but I do spray detailing spray (bike spirits) to recoat the wax since I'm in clean mode anyway.
Works great on your car/truck too. Before I pull into the car wash I'll spray the grill, bumper, glass and mirrors.
