Cleaning my Honda ST was a breeze... like cleaning a car with all that tupperware. I LOVE my Venture, especially when it is gleaming clean, but what a PAIN to get it there. I am sure there are many tips that members might share. What's the best way to: Clean (and wax?) the paint? (I used boat wax on the ST) Keep the chrome gleaming? Clean in the nooks and crannies? Keep the stock seats clean? Maintain black plastic (bib, radio, etc)? Clean the back wheel? Clean the windshield (I use Pledge) Any suggestions about tools, rags, chamois, microfiber, tooth-brushes, bottle brushes, waterless solutions? What about wiping the bike down without water? (I am concerned that the grime will scratch the paint, chrome, etc. My partner, Dianne has a good way of keeping her V-Star clean. She gets me to do it!

I had to do some last minute shopping for a friend who owns a HD Ultra. I rode to a local leather shop but all I was able to find within my budget (hey, I like the guy, but we aint sleeping together) was a Guardian bell. I had no other choice but to brave it and walk right into the belly of the beast....yes, I rode to our local Harley boutique, parked my Gleaming RSV amongst the Harleys and walked in with my head held up high. I soon realized that Almost nothing was within my budget here either (see above referenced excuse). I ended up getting him a gift certificate and walked out. There was a small crowd around my Gleaming RSV. I nodded to a few who only just stared back. I smiled, sat on the bike and fired it up...letting those 98 ponies pulsate through those (gasp!) Road King Mufflers!!!!....I kicked it into gear with my Harley boots and in the wink of an eye I shot out of there to the amazement of several onlookers. I thought I heard someone say..was it a bird..was it a plane....well, you know the rest.....:rotfl::rotfl:
