lacquer thinner. soak a shop rag in it, lay flat on top of cover let sit, outside for about 20 mins, keep damp. will wipe right off. wont hurt plastic. acetone, yes. eats it. lacquer thinner, safe.  home depot  lowes carries it.
Really? Read the contents of lacquer thinner. All that I've seen were 100% acetone.

Brake fluid can eventually eat through ABS plastic. A few GoldWing have had holes in their fairings from it. Make sure you wash if off real well with soapy water.

Bought this Haul-master from someone for $20 last week. Hoping I can make something of it.
It can certainly handle the weight. I use one with spool adapters for my '78 GoldWing.

Prepped the truck and trailer for a trip from Clinton, TN to Columbus, OH to get my next project and my first 2 stroke since '79. That was when I sold the '76 RD400 that I had bought new. Finally found one to restore. Not fully a basketcase, but in pretty sad shape. Over the past seven years I've been rescuing old GoldWings (and one CB750F) fairly successfully, but I'm certain that I will need knowledge from those who have traveled these paths before.
