There's got to be an easier way to clean my Road King spoke wheels? What are some your tricks?

Do you mean clean or polish? If clean, just use a S-100 Wheel Cleaner (there are others too). If polish, forget it - the spokes are cadmium plated and will never stay bright, just the nature of that plating. Once the wheels/spokes are clean, I just give them a spray with a spray wax, with a towel buff them dry, and go ride. I too was concerned with how the wheels/spokes looked, especailly the rear ones, but finally learned, there isn't much I can do with rear spokes to keep them bright. Front ones tend to stay cleaner/brighter longer and are easier to clean to start with. I've thought seriously about buying aftermarket sets of polished, stainless-stell spokes, and then relacing wheels. But haven't done so yet. I just try to keep them as clean and bright as reasonable. Hope this helps.
