To maintain the original luster and appearance of the wheels on your Buell motorcycle, clean and polish wheels as often as possible to inhibit rust and corrosion. Damage from harsh chemicals, acid based wheel cleaners, brake dust and lack of maintenance can occur. Regular washing and the use of a corrosion protectant will help to maintain their original appearance.

Harley-Davidson WHEEL AND TIRE CLEANER (Part No. 94658-98) is recommended for cleaning wheels and tires. Then use HARLEY GLOSS™ (Part No. 94627-98) to protect the wheel surfaces.

NOTE

It is imperative that the wheels are cared for weekly to guard against pitting and corrosion.
Corrosion of these components is not considered to be a defect in materials or workmanship.

Buell recommends the following products:

WHEEL AND TIRE CLEANER (Part No. 94658-98): cleaner/degreaser for wheels, tires and engine.

Translucent Wheels

The wheels on your Buell are painted with a translucent amber powder coat. This translucent paint allows you to see through the finish to the wheel surface below. It creates a deep glossy finish which makes each motorcycle take on its own unique appearance.
