RE: Cleaning your bike
i really expect the paint to age with time so, i just wash with a brand name washing soap and use a lot of windex on the chrome. i wax once a month maybe. i spent about thirty bucks on everything. i do like the micro fiber rags for drying and touching up the glass and chrome. like i said though, i like to ride, not clean on the bike. lucky here in texas i can ride almost every day.

go to wal-mart and buy your self the half gallon simple green cause it's the same as S100 and you can make 15 gallons out of that half gallon.
with bike cold spray it down real good with the simple green let sit for a few mins. then hose off really good and blow dry there your all done. go riding.

Lemon scented Pledge for me! Spray it one let it sit a few seconds wipe it off, do teh next section of the bike. After im all done i take a clean microfiber rag and go over teh whole bike with it to buff it up real nice. Works like a charm. And it repells dust.
