Cleaning Windshield Faring Vent on Road Glides
« on: April 12, 2015, 08:49:57 PM »

Does anyone have a good trick for cleaning the bug remains out of the windshield vent? I can't fit my hand up in that space enough to get it clean. Ideas?

Try this:  Fold a wet microfiber towel and push it through so it sticks out both front and back.  Pull it back and forth.   Should work.
