Smile Fly's on ya FMIC??!!

As above really folks,just wondering how u manage to clean the bar-stewards off your nice shiny front mount??
They're doing my nut in,seem to get right in there with the fins and i spose if it was left would possibly reduce the air flow and make it useless?? i do give it a wipe over now and again but how do u get them out without resorting to a neddle or summit?
any tips much appreciated,
cheers
Rob

I find if you give them a good soak they will come off a bit easier. I know what you mean though stickier that cat **** to a blanket

Use bug & tar remover to melt them first, give them a good soak as Kev said!

Do ZunSport do a mesh grille for the classic?

Cheers guys, seems like there's no easy way round it then!!!!
Not sure about the grill, was thinking of making one myself to fit, can't see it making a tremendous difference but would help no doubt!
Got some motor-ax bug off foam stuff i use to get grime and oil off on the scrambler, might be worth a go!
thanks

Agree with Kev and Merv

I used to hate it when the flies got between the fins

And a bit of autosol used to help as well.
