White on my softail.
I was out cleaning the bike getting ready for Daytona, by the way, whos going? This will be my 3rd year on all the white I added to my bike. When I posted my plans 3 years ago, a lot of people warned me against it because it would be so hard to keep clean.
I just got my fience a new seat so I sent it out to have it done to match the rest of my bike, seats, backrest, plug wires and grips. I cant tell the difference between the new seat and my seat that I had done 3 years ago.
How do I keep it clean and care for it? A rag and windex! All that I had done 3 years ago still looks brand new, like I had it all done at the same time. I just thought I would throw that out there for anyone who has or is considering white on a bike.
Next up? White floor boards and all the front controls rubber. I may hold off till next winter when I get the bike painted....and maybe not too!

Try keeping an all polished motor, forks, wheels and chromed bike clean. now *that* is the true word of PITA. that's why my Breakout is mostly black. lol
I say two thumbs up on the white- no reason it shouldn't stay clean given better modern materials and just basically caring for it.

T-Bone let's see some pics!
I'm riding up tomorrow myself, all packed and ready to go. Would love to meet you but man, it's nigh impossible to meet anyone there unless you ride with them. Tons of Traffic, not being able call while riding, means it's tough to meet up with people.
