I am having a hard time cleaning these engine covers. I can't  seem to get the the road grime off?  I don't know what the finish is, does anybody have any good cleaning tips?  Thanks

I put 700 miles on the bike over the weekend and after washing the bike the rocker boxes and top transmission cover look like they are still dirty and no longer look gloss black. I tried rubbing a spot with a damp cloth and it doesn't come off. The primary, cam chest and transmission side cover are a shiny gloss black. Any thoughts?

I wax mine Joe

I haven't waxed the primary and it is nice and shiny. You definitely have more patience than me if you wax your rocker boxes.

my gloss black tour pack rack has sections on it also that the gloss dissappeared also, its like the soap took the gloss off in patches. leaves it dull like there is a coating of dirt on it also. let the dealer look at it and said it looked like something got sprayed on it that ate the gloss off it. waiting to hear back from them on replacing it.

I showed it to the dealer as well and I am waiting to hear back from them.

I'm having the same issue on my Skunk as well. The rocker boxes and top transmission cover look like they are badly faded but the cam chest and primarily cover are shiny gloss black.

Sorry.....I was waiting for this thread to start....best of luck to all.......

Ignore the motherships rhetoric....

"You did something wrong" "Itsa normal", "touch up paint"... "Open pores allow moisture in", "powder coated" blah blah blah...Friggin puke inducing.

I haven't noticed this on my Skunk yet. I hope it's just a fluke.

Opee

I hope it is as well. The dealer took pictures and they are sending them to the MoCo. Hopefully I will have an answer in a week or two.

I'm sure the dealership will do whatever they can to make it right.
