a 1994? Or a 2004?

pretty sure the Harley edition trucks didn’t come out until 2000 and that was for F150 only, and only in 2004 did the Harley edition super dutys become available.

You are absolutely correct. It is a 2004. Good call!

Thanks! And if I married a supermodel, it would be the result of her losing a bet.

I do want to ask my fellow Harley lovers…what do you use for chrome cleaner/polish, and paint maintenance? I’ve used Nevr Dull, but it can leave scratches and damage the chrome.

That is a great looking bike, congrats. Ride her.

As far as what to use, I don't know what your budget is like but there's plenty of great options out there. If you're serious about keeping her looking good, all the time, then I'd suggest Wolfgang Products for paint, for chrome I use Mothers Chrome Polish, I really haven't found anything that cleans and polishes like it, but then I go over it with a quality paste wax, like Collinite or Wolfgang Fuzion. The key to success is high quality microfiber cloths. Autogeek is a great source for them, there's different types for any application. Make sure you buy the proper detergent to clean the microfibers and they'll last. If you're serious as I am about detailing my bike, then I highly recommend Wolfgang. I seriously love their Fuzion Spray Wax. Hop over to the Detailing section in here and you'll find plenty of great advice. I was an ole school wash n wax guy but after trying some new products, I'm convinced the newer stuff really works.

Wolfgang Car Care Products

This is how she looks on a daily basis, and I ride...a lot. Once I finish doing a paint correction on the tank it'll seriously jump off the page.

That poor motorcycle being caged up like that. Inhumane. I'd change the oils, fuel and tires and let it free.

Thank you. I will definitely look into acquiring some of the products you mentioned. You’ve got a beautiful machine there.

Thank you everyone for the advice. Looks like I’ll be riding her shortly. Needs a good service, fresh tires, and a hell of a detailing, and then it will be ready for the road. Now to dig into the search for the best tires for leisurely riding…
