When I HAD them I used lacquer thinner to clean mine. It was a tip from a car detailer and worked great but keeping them like I liked them to look was too much of a pain in the a$$!! They'd get brake dust on them quicker than I could wipe it off so I switched to blackwalls and never looked back.

 

Once I got Lyndall Brakes, cleaning wasn't a problem. For me, I would just wash the the tires and wheels every couple thousand miles or so at the car wash and they stayed looking pretty good. I wash the whole bike about every three thousand miles and would wipe my WW down with the magic eraser, but that still only took a couple extra minutes. I don't like Westleys, very corrosive, the other suggestions work pretty good.

The 09 touring front tire WWW on the RKC is still a 16 inch wheel. So I think you will have to get a different style 16 inch front wheel to get the WWW on any other 09 touring bike. But I agree, the WWW tire is the best looking tire on the Electraglides and Road Kings. I don't like them on the SG or RG.

If it diesn't have WWW it's just not a Harley. Got em on the 1997 FLSTS and put spokes and WWW on the White 08 SG
Yeah, they take longer to clean - I live with it

I use Mr.Clean Magic Erasers on mine, wipe them down when I wash it.

 

NIce bike, kind of has that Road King Custom hot rod look with a fairing. I like it.

I guess I should have searched the forum first.

 

I use steel wool pads, it takes a little time but really worth it and they look awesome imho.

 

They do suck to clean...but when I do clean them I use the magic eraser....you just cant beat the looks of WWW

 

I use a Soapy brillo pad and water.

 

They take a little effort to keep 'em clean but they are worth it in my opinion.
