This is my first black bike and noticing it's a dirt magnet! Sheesh, I just washed it and took it for a spin and dirt/dust has magically appeared, and I was on a paved road. What are others using to keep theirs clean? I have used Griots Speed Shine between washes on my other "red" bikes but based on the amount of dirt and dust I see, I am afraid it will scratch if I use Griots. Anything out there that helps the dirt not stick to the paint?

 

How dare you. Black Bikes and Grits. I'm Offended.
Black Bikes Matter.
Don't discriminate, treat it like any other bike.

 

I use bugslide

my bike is blue now but I used it on my black bike before this one

 

As they say, Black is Beautiful, but it is a bitch to keep clean.

 

My last FLHTK was black. No matter how hard I tried it ended up with swirl marks in fairly short order. I finally decided that it's just a motorcycle. So I started using the California duster I had laying around that I use on the cars when the bike was just dusty. It's quick and easy and didn't make the already existing swirl marks any worse. I am sure there are some that will now verbally chastise me but hey, I do take care of my bike but I don't worship it......

 

Black is the prettiest color.....when its clean which is for about 2 min. My last bike was black and I told myself never again.

 

Has someone stolen my tag line? :>)

 

Black is the fastest too...

Throw some Top Coat ceramic sealer on that bad boy...nothing will stick to it.

 

Top Coat ceramic sealer? Quartz product? Tell me more.

 

I'm on my 3rd black Harley and no more for me. My next one if there is one will be white.
