My 2003 flhrsei2 is garaged 50 yards from the Pacific all summer.  Aside from regular washing, anyone have a good product that will insulate it  from the salt air corrosion?

What about the Harley Bubble that they sell?

The thing that will suffer the most are your wheels. My recommendation there is to buy a Mother's Miniball, polish the heck out of em, then go over them with a polysealant and finally a good coat of wax. Painted parts, use the sealant and wax. Also, cover the bike with the CVO indoor cover it came with and wash the cover every couple of weeks. If you keep the bike covered while in the garage, the cover will absorb most of the salt from the air. Just make sure you don't cover the bike while it's hot or it will sweat and then the salt will get all over everything.

Bubble looks good but it being a shared parking lot stealth is better.  In addition, I have no access to power.  I'll try the routine outlined by Spiderman.  Thanks for the feedback.  Happy and safe 4th to all!

For all of your unpainted parts like fasteners, you might want to try CorrosionX.  We use it in the military aviation industry.  http://corrosionx.com/  It is available online shipped to your door exempt from 49 CFR as ORMD since it is an aerosol shipped in excepted quantities.

I think this is a problem  that might be more of the luxury type of problem, If your parking your bike 50' from the Pacific ocean for the summer...you aint got any problems !!!!

Yeah......really........I know if I could afford to live there, then I could afford someone to keep the salt corrosion at bay for me.  No worries.

Heck Bro..........with the type of jing it takes to live 50 ft from the Pacific Ocean, I'd ditch the illegal, turn him into INS, and hire Chip Foose to hire and train some hot topless blonde in a thong to come out to my house and personally detail my scooter each day...........twice a day.     Wouldn't it be oh so nice!!!!!!!  Some people have some REAL challenges don't they?

There is something that nearly everyone here in Okinawa uses to keep their bike looking its best and that is to take it to a shop that Teflon coats the whole bike a couple of times a year.  It is not perfect and does not take away all of the responsibility but eases the pain tremendously.  Around here nearly everywhere is near the beach.
