Cleaning
I recently bought a shovel head and have been trying to get the bike cleaned up. \\; I was wondering what a really good degreaser is for the motor as well as a good way to get the Alloy cleaner and shining. \\; I dont have a problem with the little amount of chrome that on it but the primary, valve cover, front forks \\;.... \\;look like SH*T. \\;
 \\;
 \\;
Thanks in advance

RE: Cleaning
Any \\;automotive engine degressor will work on the motor. \\; For the Aluminum I found a product called black diamond that will get the aluminum so you can see your face in it. \\; If it is heavily oxidized you may have to use a lot of elbow grease first. \\; My sliders had to be sanded with \\;400 \\;grit wet dry then 600 finally with 1500 to get them smooth enough to take a good shine.

RE: Cleaning
I use Gunk for the grease and grime on the bike followed by soap and water.
never dull and mothers are both a good polish for the smooth aluminum, it the aluminum isn't polished cleaning with a stiff brush works well.
