Pig spit or S100, careful with the S100 a little is more then enough. I had a FXDX and now a FLHX both have the blacked out engine. I prefer the pig spit, it seem to attract less dust.

pit spit is the easiest way to keep everything looking new...just wipe the pipes after you spray the engine

S100 Motorcycle cleaner is the only one that I have seen that is called "S100". I use it regularly. I have never tried Pig Spit...

I have used the s-100 and Pig Spit. I prefer the Pig Spit much more than the S-100.

I have been using no touch tire care, gets out the dirt from the wrinkle and makes the black look very good.
