getting the guts off

[Intech]

ok, put rain-x on your shield and let us know how long you can apply it before you have to replace the shield, I'm curious?

Rain-x? Why not tear offs? They look great draped accross the face of the rider behind you!

Sandpaper works good but there is a side effect to that.... cant remember what it was though???? :lol: :lol:

man, that was hilarious. or, not. Wait - it was not helpful. Yeah, that was it.

(but it did add to your post count)

So, from reading the posts, is RainX good or bad?

 

[FJR-Voltron]

For my cars and bikes, I always soak it down with Armor-All for a few minutes.

I find it helpful to Honda Spray the bugs real wet and let sit for awhile.

or Plexus

+1 on the Plexus. Good Stuff!

Why is it that the bike cleaning questions get so many responses?

:blink:

(and never end up in NEPRT?)

Been proven tough to hot rod an FJR, we're obviously all about the bling. Well that and the plethora of chemicals released on the buying public make it impossible for this to be a NEPRT.

For dried on bugs I get an old bath towel, soak it in water and put it on the shield for 20 minutes or so. That loosens up most of the goo so it can be easily wiped off. Then I use Plexus to polish it up.

That what I use , when the bike comes in covered in summer bugs , I thoroughly wet a hand towel and throw it over the front of the bike then the bugs then rinse off the next day.

A good coat of silicon or wax polish helps the buggers not to stick so much

To avoid the bad side effects from the sandpaper, I wipe the glass w/ sardines and let sit. I then let the cat lick it off.

I think all you guys are missing the point.

He has bugs on his bike.

He's not driving in between them. Ergo, they hit his bike.

So - is the a pilot control issue? :blink:

Rain-X has been blamed for causing the laminate windshields to separate. In other words, on most windshields there is a coating in the top layer (anti-scratch, scratch resistant, whatever) that Rain-X has caused to separate.

Very ugly. Not at all attractive. Waaaayyyyy on the bad side of the Good/Bad Meter.

Lick 'em off ... bugs are high in protein and other essential nutrients!
