They are our transmission, specifically designed for Arch, similar to our OD6 or overdrive 6 speed but custom case and a couple other components.

Does anyone have any tips on properly cleaning this type of wheel?

This would be a great upgrade.
One thing I'm not crazy about is the transmissions on HD.

Jose, as to your wheels. ken put me onto this stuff a few years ago. Hands down the best aluminum polish I have ever used. The only problem with it, is the more you rub the shinier it gets and you have to force yourself to stop. I spray the wheels down with BikeBrite and rinse off really well. Put bike on lift and work on the wheels.

Jose, your reply box is a victim of the new HDForum format.

My bike only had a 5-speed so the 6-speed was definitely a worthwhile investment and Improvement. I think your bike is new enough to have the 6-speed and have gone through enough road-testing that it is reliable. You could upgrade to a baker 6-speed or even a 7-speed but you have to weigh the cost against the benefits. Hit up OG markwood on Monday when he returns.
