So as most of you probably remember, I bought an 03 Electra Glide at the end of last year. Here she is.
Being as unmolested a Harley as I can find, she's low mileage, but didn't look the part. She's coming out of hibernation for the rest of the year in a couple of days, so when she's shiny, I'll snap an after winter pic. I'm open to comments, suggestions (especially longevity advice) and anything else you wanna throw at me. TTFN

Foaming tire cleaner is the best thing I have found to clean the engine..... Cheap, effective and best of all.... No scrubbing.

Never used it. I've heard once the blonde gets dirty, it's almost impossible to clean. I just hope my fins never get dirty. Otherwise, I'll have to blast them and paint them black. Or get a big bore kit.scootermcq wrote:Foaming tire cleaner is the best thing I have found to clean the engine..... Cheap, effective and best of all.... No scrubbing.
