I've got a 2013 Roadking and need to know if they powdercoat the wheels, and which cleaner would you recommend if these are powdercoated? My last few bikes all had wire spokes and I never had to deal with trying to clean an aluminum rim so I'm clueless right now.

 

If they're powdercoated, treat them the same way you do your frame. Soap and water.

 

+1 on the soap & water can't go wrong

 

That and a spoke brush work great on my 28's.

 

That's the whole problem, I can't get a straight answer on if these wheels are powdercoated or not, so I'm hoping that the "Oracle of Harley Wheel's" is going to reply back with the correct answer to straighten me out.
OK so the reason why I'm trying to figure out if I can use Mothers or something similar is because I have used Never-Dull and the part of the wheel which isn't blacked-out and appears to be clear-coated aluminum has spots all over, so before I start rubbing the Mother's and take off the clear-coat I really would like to know before hand, Thanks.

 

Why not Eagle One Mag Wheel Cleaner?
I have used it on autos for years. Will not affect clear coat finishes.
Spray on a cool wheel, I use a wet paint brush to move it around quickly, rinse well.
All Eagle One products are excellent.
DO NOT USE OPEN PORE MAG CLEANER.
It is for non coated open pore aluminum - it contains an acid - but for it's intended uses, it cannot be beat.

 

Do you have the wheels? If they are silver, they are clear coated, not powdercoat. In that case my first answer still applies. Good old soap and water is good for everything.

 

Sonax is the best. Try it, you'll be hooked.

 

I have a 2013 RK also and have experienced the spots you are having to deal with.I am sure the cast rim does have a clearcoat but I use Blue Majic metal polish cream on them and it removes the spots and will keep them from reoccurring and does not harm the finish on the rim.

 

Ive done that on clear coated wheels. They turn a nice shade of yellow.
