RE: How best to clean off after road salt?
ORIGINAL: MyFirstHD
Ridden in the winter with my metric but was usually too cold to think about washing it after the ride. By the time I noticed the damage the aluminum was pitted. Don't know about damage to fork seals.
In the spring I wait until after the first rain to wash most of the salt off the road.
Thing about Michigan, they salt the roads even when they don't need to because if they don't use their salt and over time they can't budget it for the next year.
