I was wondering how you guys clean the windshield area close to the "mounting bracket" on 06+ GT? I have medium size hand, I can't seem to reach in there and wipe of water/dust in that tiny area.

Yeah, and to add to that frustration seems the love bugs love [ pun intended] to collect around the inside just in that area!!! I have a soft plastic handle off of I think it's called a swifter or some other goofy name that I wrap with a piece of microfiber and us Plexus. Still a PITA, but gets the job done.

Dayem love bugs! We recently had a huge infusion of snout nose butterflies. So prevalent that the front end of the bike would change color with the guts. Hello cleaning the oil cooler.
As far as dust and water I blow it out with a can of compressed air, like you can get at comp-usa or anyone who sells electronic crud, even wally-world. Not perfect but it prevents the water spots from forming.......

How far do those cans of compressed air go? Say I wanted to blow water out of all the lower crevises, under the seat area, windshield, etc. How many washes would one can last for?

My guess is about 3 or more washes maybe more if your doing lots of the nooks and crevices. I don't try to get all the water out just the big dropplets so waterspots don't form on the windshield. If I was just doing the windshield the can would last a long time. I'm sure if I was super anal I would go through a whole can just trying to get the whole bike dry..... BTW, if you have a compressor cheaper than the cans, I'm just lazy and I get that compressed air sutf from work all the time........
I used to have a Harley. Spent more time keeping chrome polished than riding. But you know that already!FLHR, full dress, radical paint white on white ghost flames. A beauty. Started polishing on Monday to be ready for the weekend.

The Harley used to be sportless... Now, kind of bad... Still looks good if you stand 10 feet away... Been very busy at work... Phone system dead after 18 years... Putting in a new nortel system and all...
Been paying more attention to the GT since I bought it 3 months ago... GT so much easier to clean...
