    Harley X90 cleaning aluminum rims

    In the post from X90-rider cleaning the aluminum rims has one of the hardest tasks. What did you use to clean and polish the rims? Did you take them apart, split rims and clean them separate? Do you have to do anything special to bolt them back together? Thank You

    Cleaning up Shocks and Springs

    I was wondering if it would be okay to use a wire brush on a die grinder to clean paint and a little bit of surface rust off of some shocks and springs that have a chrome-looking finish to them? or will the wire brush damage them? FYI the wire brush isn't really stiff.
