mini duster...

turtle wax ice...


i love the mini duster. i can wipe down the bike after a ride in about 5 minutes. i dust it down daily to reduce the build up of grime. basically, the same stuff you use or can use on an auto will work. harley, of course, sells their own brand called harley gloss. but i can usually get a better price on the turtle wax or meguires products.
if you want to go above and beyond, i guess an air compressor with a spray nozzle would work too. or this....http://www.airshammy.com/

I live in the high desert and my bike can get dusted out in one short ride. I use a Swiffer, takes all the dust off in seconds, use them once or twice and get a new one. Then when the bugs are building up on the windshield and front forks I get out the lemon Pledge and a new micro fiber towel. Keeps the bike really clean in between a major wash down with water/soap.
