There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

What exactly are you trying to "shield", the rider or the bike ??
Hydrogen peroxide will remove bug guts pretty quickly.....but a short soak is usually required.

Ah well...
There are sprays at your local bike shop and auto parts stores. You can also just soak the area with warm soapy towels and a bunch of other diy ways. The radiators you can add aftermarket grilles to help keep them out of the cooling fins. Cleaning them is a bit tougher. Again soaking and some hose spraying or air nozzel will clear them up as well...:thumbup:

Guess was thinking along what things to add to lessen the number, will the aftermarket grilles do a better job protecting the radiator? Was thinking they would restrict airflow too much.. Thought I saw someone selling light covers that velcro in front of headlights, but havn't found them yet, will keep digging. Tganjs.

One thing I learned from the RV community, Dryer sheets work great on bug splats. No soaking, no pre-treatment, just wet the windshield / front end / face shield / whatever and they just wipe off with the dryer sheets.
I keep a zip-lock full of them in all my vehicles. Cleans glass, plastic, paint, and everything else I have tried them out on.
I have also watched closely for any scratching / swirl marks from them and over the past three years have not seen any problems, even on my F6B which is notorious for it's soft paint..

What the heck are dryer sheets?. No idea!
Fabric softener sheets that you put in the dryer, like

UPDATE on dryer sheets (fabric softener). I put one in the bottom of a large spray bottle. Fill with water. Spray bug splats, they dissolve quickly and wipe right off.
The system also works to "quick clean" the :spyder2:. And...it leaves your :ani29: smelling nice and fresh.

So do I!! :clap: :yes: :2thumbs:And with no static cling!
I must say, I have to wonder what these sheets are doing to our skin (via whatever film they may be leaving on our clothes) if they can dissolve baked-on bugs, etc. I, in fact, read an article last winter about the toxicity of dryer sheets. Now I believe it.

I thought the OP wanted to know what everyone uses to get the bugs off after they've finished drinking the alcohol/water mix?? :dontknow:

You might be interested to know that they tend to clog up the dryness sensors that are present on almost all dryers these days.
They leave an oily residue......on the clothes and inside the dryer drum too. :shocked:

My spray bottle is filled with blue windshield washer fluid.
Does a respectable job and costs about a buck a gallon.
