thats what i use, on the wheels i use bathroom cleaner, Kaboom. spray it on blue and see the dirt lift up as it turns white, rinse, then wipe with a soft towel

I use Harley detail mist to clean and Maquire's spray on wax after that. Works real well.

My 2005 Anniversary Fat Boy.
Damn, I miss that bike! Lotsa chrome, though.

Not a completely chromed out 2012 Deluxe, but this is my last build (as some of you may have seen through my threads)... I wanted a classic Cadillac/Bel Air appeal, with a modern flair.. Went all black on the outside, and went with chrome "under the hood"... Brainstorming on what to do next....

First time rolling it out on the new wheels, almost done with the build.






First ride after the build,




Dressed up for long trips






At the 2015 Donnie Smith Bike Show - St. Paul, MN RiverCentre. Took 2nd Place!




Enjoy.

I actually had drag bars on my first two bikes, and had a TON of neck, shoulder and lower back pain. Decided to switch to apes and my pain has since disappeared... So for now... I'm a die hard ape hanger supporter. To each their own, though! What works for one, may not work for another.

Thanks! I was "told" by the salesman at the stealership they are actually 24K gold plated. But who really knows,
