The trick is to never let it get dirty!
I use Mothers California Gold once every other month and in between I clean it with a detailer spray. I keep it in the garage, cover it and try not to ride in the rain. Clean bikes ARE FASTER!!!
I put Stealth Tape on the rims. Its a 3m reflective tape that comes in black/white and colors. Highly visible at night.
As for the pipes, I wanted to put on a set of (HMC?)high mounts, but I was advised that I would lose low end w/out engine mods. I installed a K&N filter, but there are so many options for the pipe, I get a headache! Without major engine mods, what is the preferred set up for everyday use? I'll check the threads anyway.
Thanks for all the replies.
