• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Black trim treatments?

Hi all, Merry Christmas&Happy New Year! Just wondering if anyone has any tips on cleaning and possibly treating or waxing the black trim on our Spyders?
 
I assume since you posted in the RT section you have an RT. Just wash the black area as you do the rest of the bike. Don't wax it,the grainy surface will just trap the residue and look ugly. If your black is really looking bad try some black trim treatment for car trim. Turtle Wax makes one for black trim on cars and I also use Back to Black . Black Chrome does a good job also but it will make it shiney.

Don't wax it; the surface texture makes it impossible to clean it up... nojoke
I use the stuff that Lamont sells. :thumbup:
 
Here's what I would do...

Anything in this catagory and handy....WD40, Pledge (I like lemon), Plexus. Protect-all, Black Diamond (from Lamonster) etc. Then of course there are all those specific products....:dontknow: see above...👀

Herb, come on by and I'll let you use the last bit in the can of the stuff I use.
 
All old school and cheap Harley riders use Pledge. A 3 can pack is $9 at Costco. The stuff at a bike shop is 12-15 bucks for one can.
