Thanks Warlord will give it a go.
Finish Issues on 2016 GS Triple Black
- Thread starter Fagin
- Start date
I’m using the BMW stuff that Motorrad dealers sell. Seems good.
KIWI black shoe polish, they will look new again.
A chum's brother had the black finish taken off the forks of his Triple Black GS by one of the bike cleaning fluids. I can't remember which one it was.
Which reminds me I need to order more Fuchs Wash-Off for my bike.
Muc off Charles, it was Muc off.
Sorry for the delay in replying to your comments, been busy running my Blood Bike Group
I use Valet Pro Dragons Breath which is pH 7-8 so as near as damn it neutral, the bike has been ACF 50’d from new and it shows
Some interesting comments and I will try some of them to see how the wheels come up, someone mention spraying or powder coating the wheels, is that possible with a spoked wheel?
If the spokes go loose, get some free new wheels under warranty or goodwill
Fagin - JB is right, you know how to check for loose spokes yeah? Just tap them with (something like) a tyre lever and listen for a change in `note` indicating something ain`t right!
I had an idea it was. Clearly nasty stuff.
Funny that, the MucOff i have is pink

SDOC do a Colour Refresher product - in aerosol. Very good on plastic, less so on my black gearbox (dulled by Muc-off I suspect).
Long-lasting but not permanent. Should be worth a try.

When I had my GSA12, I removed the wheels and had them anodised in black, and also had black spokes fitted....so yes, you can get them treated.
If you do get your wheels refurbed, before you re-fit them apply a couple of coats of a nanotech/ceramic coating; I did this to my spoked wheels on the KTM and it protects them superbly from corrosion.
KTM corroding ?? Surely not
It has zero corrosion anyway Del; so prevention is better than cure IMHO

That chip on your shoulder is getting bigger by the day.

No chip, all tongue in cheek. If your failing to see that, then thats your problem not mine

Hi Bounce, so do you think it would be possible to anodise just the black parts of the rims and if so would you need to remove the spokes prior to treatment?
Yes and yes id say, so you would need a wheel builder who knows what he’s doing.
