Default 2018 heritage Engine care
Anyone know something that would protect the shiny black of the engine? Maybe take light scratches off? The top section of the engine has some hair line scratches I'd like to buff out somehow.

Dude - I thought you had a Fat Bob. Did you trade for a Heritage?

Believe it or not I use a crc or wd on most bits after a thorough clean with the HD cleaning kit HD gave me with the bike that the local high school girls in my street do in kini's or they don't get paid!
You need to buff it down maybe but wait till a really sunny day so you see all the issues.

I feel for people that can’t keep a bike more than a couple of months.


Isn’t the black finish on the new Heritage powder coating?
