Thanks Bob, I added this on my long long Amazon list of things to get. About 15 years ago I was at a local marine and fishing supply and a homeless guy cleaned and shined my trailers wheels with a paper towel and some stuff he had in a zephyrhills water bottle. I bought a bottle for $5 and that crap was amazing. Took off oxidization, water spots, and shined with just a wipe. I must have spent 2 years looking for that guy again.

Unbelievable!
I haven't read about it or watched any news footage of it yet. All I know is what I see on my notification banners.

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.

The transmission in my FLHXS is good. I changed it from oil to gear lube at about 22k and it made a great difference.
Much quieter and way smoother.
