Invisi-Glass and then polish with Never Dull. I would only polish the chromed metal pieces however not the plastic. For the plastic Invisi-Glass or a windex type product works great

Easy been doing it on Crotch rockets for years. Soap and hot water and a good rag, put rag in hot and soapy water, remove, place it on part with bugs, wait a minute then wipe, they will some off like butter. Repeat rinse lather.

Pretty much the same caperj does it. If real bad, I'll lay saturated paper towels over the area for awhile before washing them off.

A M/C trick to ease the hassle of bug removal is to wipe the front and mirrors with Lemon Pledge. The light coating from the lemon oil will prevent the bugs from sticking like glue and is safe for all the surfaces.

50/50 mix of ammonia and water in a spray bottle. Let it set a little and then wash or wipe off.
