The biggest PITA I have is checking the air - the damn dual disks get in the way so you have to thread the chuck in there.
I agree. I just checked mine the other day. even the harley gauge doesn't have the right angle on it. you have to be careful or you will let all the air out just trying to get a reading.
Go with the fatty 52 spoke and cleaning is a breeze
WORKD4IT SWEET Who makes those? Are they the non tube type? I really like the fat spokes. For the time being I'll stick with the factory spokes. Gonna spend the extra money on go fast parts I have noticed that aftermarket spokes seem to be cheaper than aftermarket wheels. That's always a good thing.
To those that have them, what's the trick to keeping them clean, or cleaning them.
The biggest trick is replacing the Harley Brake pads with Lyndall Brake pads. Brake dust is the biggest problem and the Lyndall pads have almost no dust.
Other than that, I have spoke brush I got from Walmart for about $5. I soap the the spokes and rims, wipe them over with the brush and rinse. Takes about three minutes per wheel and the wheels look new. I like to use a spotless rinse so I don't have to wipe the spots off. Either a carwash or Mr.s Cleans spotless rinse works really well. Mr. Clean is a just for black paint also.
