Yeah, I just take the bugs to the face and jacket. It's annoying and really hurts sometimes but I don't mind getting a little messy. I also prefer my bike to be as bare bones as possible aside from some necessary "ooh, shiny." I definitely don't want anything that'll increase vibration on the bike.

One of my favorite add-ons for my bike is the highway / freeway bar. In the pic, you can see it go from the top of the front cylinder to the control pegs. It's basically a tubular piece of chromed steel that guards the engine and your legs by sticking out beyond the width of them. The highway bar adds protection to my legs when my feet are on the control pegs such as when I'm toolin' around heavy traffic. I've also put folding cruising pegs on it so I can put my feet up when I get out into no-stops-for-miles land. I wouldn't ride without one. Any bike that I get in the future will have to be able to mount one. I like the sense of security it provides, the comfort of using cruising pegs, and it looks mean as hell and really beefs up the front end of your bike.
