Some dealerships have it, many Napa's have it. Good easy to use metal polish, more so on aluminum and stainless. Chrome really don't need it.

Thanks for all the nice comments about bike. Also for the advise on cleaners. I do have one thing I am not sure about and would welcome your opinion on. Most the time I will ride in town or short trips and very seldom would I install bags. Like the look without them especially on this bike but not sure about leaving the rear saddlebag guards on? What do you think? Leave them on or take off?

It looks like the bike was set up for some sort of quick detach bags?

Personally I'd be looking for how to replace those bags. But I like to have extra carrying space which biases my opinion.

If I were to run without bags, I likely would remove the rear safety bars.
But they don't look real bad as-is. Always nice to have the option to throw some bags on. Raingear, warm clothes, tools, whatever. Can be real handy.

Bike has stock Heritage bags that do have a quick detatch system. Takes about a minute do put on or off without any tools. Bags are definetly handy but I just like the look with them off, but not sure about leaving rear guards on?

The bars don't look real good without the bags.
