i use tire foam on all wrinkle black on a cold engine, let it sit 1/2 hr, and wipe it down, and or blow it with air gun.

What I have used with good success though is something intended for an entirely different purpose:

It dries to a uniform satin finish no matter how light or heavy handed I am, and it stands up to the engine heat. Just another option.
Thanks for the tip! I'm going to give this a try. The Pig Spit works great but if this works just as well and it comes in 1 gallon refills it'll be more economical in the long run.

By the way, just in case you missed the thread about putting a car tire on a NT, it can be done and it handles better than the stock Dunlop.

A dog turd wrapped around the rim handles better than a Dunlop.

I have some mothers aluminum and mag polish but it is white and I think it might make the black fins discolored. What do you guys use to polish up the diamond cut fins on the jugs? Thanks!

I guess you haven't' ridden on the new E3's yet.

They pretty much set the bar much higher than most MC tires are prepared to go. Metzelers are almost as good.

The stock 200/55/17 is far better than the stock (whatever they are) Dunlop's on the narrow tire HD's. They just wear out way too fast and compared to the CT I'm running now; they are second rate.

Just trying to put it in perspective.

What size are you running OK?
