I bought a 2014 road king with spoke wheels and white walls. Any suggestions on cleaning spokes and white walls would be appreciated. White walls will be gone when it is time to replace them. Bike has been in storage for a year.

Is there a Harley dealer near you? They would have equipment for that. Whether you buy there or not, it would give you ideas. Also Ebay or Amazon may have spoke cleaning kits, I don't know. Spoke wheels are classic and beautiful when clean, but I would rather ride than clean so I have cast wheels.

 

Spokes w/whitewalls will look fantastic once cleaned up--if you keep an open mind might even decide to replace w/same. Scrub brush and typical cleaners with a dose of elbow grease isn't the most fun but will do the job

 

Mr Clean Magic Eraser for white walls. Amazing results.

 

Black Magic Bleche-White (formerly Wesley's) on those tires and it depends on how much caked on brake dust crud is on the spokes. The Black Magic stuff is pretty good at breaking down brake dust followed up with some chrome polish on the spokes. Good times ahead

 

You will have numb fingers but it will look nice!!

 

Wesley's white wall cleaner and a good chrome polish (there are many: never dull, S-100 chrome cleaner) will work wonders on your wheels. Lick Ratpick said, once cleaned you might decide to keep them. Either case, you just simply CANNOT ride with wheels looking like that. S-100 Chrome polish is not ti be confused with their spay on cleaner which is now banned from my garage after my wifes Dyna started with premature chrome pitting and cracked motor mounts. Unless this product is thoroughly rinsed, which I suspect was not, it can be very corrosive. It gets into hard to reach places like cable boots and engine mount and is very difficult to rinse. There are also products that adapt to your drill to buff your wheels and spokes. Prices vary widely, so shop around on the internet.

 

Plenty of time, simichrome polish, bike lift, music, and a big box of beer!

rk classic.

 

SOS pad will clean those white walls up instantly and inexpensively

And all this time I thought only wine came in boxes :>)
