Author Message   Birdy Posted on Sunday, April 20, 2008 - 03:34 pm:        One day it's snow, the next the bugs are out thick as...well Flies! On a 30 mile ride I had to stop and clean my visor twice and I wiped it four or five time between! Anyone got any ideas on carrying cleaner.   Ulynut Posted on Sunday, April 20, 2008 - 04:18 pm:        After such a long winter, bugs on the visor is a nice problem to have. Some people on BadWeb carry damp towels in a zip-loc bag. And at least one guy uses those hand-wipe things from KFC. I think I might try out the hand-wipes myself.   Corporatemonkey Posted on Monday, April 21, 2008 - 05:18 am:        Stop by a drug store/Bed bath and beyond/military surplus and pick a small travel spray bottle. Fill it with windex, and use a soft microfiber cloth. I have a small (2oz) bottle that I can use while on the move. A few quick sprays, and wipe with the towel, all is well. I have tried all sorts of "wet wipes" and even expensive camera len's cleaners. They all seem to smear bug guts. Using anything other than a microfiber cloth will scratch your visor.   Johnnylunchbox Posted on Monday, April 21, 2008 - 09:27 am:        Buy the smallest can of pledge or other furmniture polish. Dissolves bugs and leaves a nice shine.   Sparky Posted on Monday, April 21, 2008 - 11:50 am:        Some motorcycle accessory stores carry tiny 3 inch Plexus plastic cleaner, protectant & polish spray cans that are made to fit into a jacket pocket. It has a nozzle that locks so it won't spray accidentally. I think Cycle-Gear sells it.   Greenlantern Posted on Monday, April 21, 2008 - 12:04 pm:        Buy the smallest can of pledge or other furmniture polish. Dissolves bugs and leaves a nice shine. Don't forget "Lemmony Fresh"   Sekalilgai Posted on Tuesday, April 22, 2008 - 11:56 am:        Here's what Hoon suggested.....when I whined about the bugs....(not pretty but it does work) http://www.badweatherbikers.com/cgibin/discus/show .cgi?tpc=142838&post=1123477#POST1123477   Just_ziptab Posted on Tuesday, April 22, 2008 - 10:27 pm:        Tear-offs...........? Works for the racers.   U4euh Posted on Thursday, April 24, 2008 - 12:15 pm:        I stopped by the local eyeglass shop and picked up a three inch metal spray bottle that I can fill with what I want, and it fits neatly under my seat. Local gas station supplies the 'blue towels'.   Barker Posted on Thursday, April 24, 2008 - 01:05 pm:        I get the guy riding the 2 stroke bike to get in the lead. No bugs.   Corporatemonkey Posted on Friday, April 25, 2008 - 06:47 am:        blue towels= scratched visor
