Mates, just bought this 1989 FXRS H-D Marlboro Man replibike. I have many bikes but this is my 1st with the cast grey motor/block. It's a little cruddy looking. What's best way to clean it up nice?

 

First off... Awesome bike! One of the coolest movie bikes I ever laid eyes on. I had a Sporty with the grey engine and for the most part I used HD engine brightener to keep it clean. For the small areas where oil seeped through around gaskets or other crud I used a toothbrush and some soapy water (primary, rocker boxes, cylinder bases), maybe a little degreaser now and then.

 

Ive had good luck with S100 engine brite

 

Simple Green and a tooth brush works really well.

 

I suppose Aluminum Wheel Cleaner would do the job but I'd read the instructions and warnings first.

 

i use "gunk" engine brite. just don't use it if the bike is sitting on asphalt.....it will eat it up.

 

Awesome bike man! Not trying to thread jack but do you guys know if the s100 will work on black wrinkle cases too?

 

To hell with that ...ride it ...!!!
it should have some dirt/grime on it !!!

 

gotta keep one of the bikes clean.

 

Another fan of Simple green here. The stuff just works!
