I have a vivid black street glide. Man is it hard to keep clean. I wash it then ride for a little on all asphalt then its dusty again. This black shows everything!!!! I'm regretting this black decision. What does everybody else do to keep the dust down?

I have a black electra glide and used to worry about ****. After 50k miles, I just ride it and don't worry about keeping the chrome polished and the paint buffed.

That's the price of owning the fastest color... Nothing you can do but clean it.

Ride it and rubbit, with some spray polish and clean cloth. thats the beauty of black. spend some time with it and it will return the favor by being the best looking color there is on a harley
