I was wondering if anyone here has any suggestions on how I could/should wash and clean my bike without access to a fresh water hose? Any suggestions would be appreciated! The apartment I live in doesn't have the access available...

 

Not sure how dirty your bike is, but if it is just some dust, you could buy some Purple Slice from your local HD shop. Might be able to get it other places, but that is where I get it. It is good stuff, spray on/wipe off. Cleans/polishes all in one.

 

I'm in the same situation. I scrub the bike down with the old bucket method, and then use this to rinse:




Admittedly, it's a pain in the wazoo, but it gets the job done.

 

Car wash?

 

Run a hose from the washing machine connection.

 

Check out Griot's Garage or autogeek.net for waterless wash.

 

Try this products its called the RinseKit. https://www.hdforums.com/articles/ri...oor-expo-2015/

 

Bring it inside a few time to wash it. They'll get you some water hooked up outside.

 

I use a product called Optimum No Rinse Wash and Wax. You mix it with 2 gallons of water, it works great.

 

After every couple of rides, take it to a local motorcycle detailer - leave it with him for an hour or so while you get a bite to eat at the restaurant of your choice and you won't recognize it when you pick it up.
