Get a piece of flat plastic, about 1/8" thick. Cut it to 6½" by 10". Attach it to your rear fender with double stick tape and machine screws. This will help keep mud and dirt out of the internals of your bike.

Cleaning Supplies

I recommend you buy and own the following chemicals:
  • #7 Chrome Polish.
  • Semi-chrome for aluminum polishing.
  • Blue Magic for exhaust headers.
  • Any mag wheel cleaner which contains Phosphoric acid.
  • Goo Gone for removing labels and stickers.
  • Acetone, bought as fingernail polish remover.
  • Turtle wax bug & tar remover.
  • Gunk Engine Brite.
  • A silicon spray for cleaning black plastic and black rubber. You can use Armorall, or any of the various Tire Black sprays.
  • Turtle Wax Black Chrome Cleaner and Sealant for rubber, vinyl, and powder coated parts.
  • Any car wash soap, or even dish washing detergent for that matter.
  • Car wash mit.
  • Worn out hand towel to clean wheels, etc.
  • 5 gallon paint bucket to hold soapy water. Fill it up, and do your bike, your car, and your wife's car.Of course, you spend 45 minutes on your bike and 6 minutes on each car, but she doesn't have to know that.
  • Kit car wax if you're lazy, Blue Coral if you're really serious.
  • Turtle wax or DuPont rubbing compound.
  • Turtle wax or DuPont polish.
  • 3M Plastic Polish.
  • 3M Plastic Cleaner.
  • Any blue colored glass cleaner, or use the recipe in Consumer Reports.
  • Tri-Flow Teflon / Silicon lubricant. Great for locks, hinges, etc.

Some people prefer other brands of chemicals. But y'know, they can just make their own web page.

When cleaning a motorcycle windshield, use a *lot* of water, and only wipe up and down. If you wipe side to side, you'll eventually leave tiny scratches which reflect light into your eyes. Once a year or so, you can take your windshield off the bike and soak it in the tub in hot soapy water for a half hour.This will get all the bugs etc. off. It's a good idea to get a micro-fiber rag for your windshield.
