Wash your bike cold w/ S-100 total cycle wash, let dry then spray black motor w/ S-100 shiny engine bright. Let it sit overnight then wipe down any excess. This shiny engine bright is a hi-temp silicon and will last for several careful washings.

If you want a clear, easy to install tank protector you can't beat this:

The Tankslapper: Paint Protection

I've got one on my CBR1000RR and I've used them before on other bikes. If you step away from the bike you can't tell it's on there.

Anyone thought of defiling their beautiful tank with Plasti Dip? There's a lot of info out there on how to use it to change the color of rims to painting entire cars. And it peels off, so it can serve as a protector as we'll.

Just to help inform you, you do understand the purpose of a tank protector is correct? I don't think that any generation would scoff at the idea of taking care of ones belongings to the best of the owners abilities. Times do change, and this is a classic example of such. For instance , Used to be you would bring up Harley Davidson, Valkyrie, or the Rune in your post. S'not know mores.

Logic would dictate that your point is intuitively obvious to the casual observer. And yet there is a contingent of riders for whom having a dirty and unkept motorcycle is a badge of honor. Its especially prevalent amongst the ADV crowd, I assume because it indicates that at least once their 700 lb "dual-sport" actually made it off-pavement.

I think those riders are posers of the Polishing Pirate ilk; the flip side of the same coin. I suppose losing thousands of dollars in lost value for not maintaining your bike is no worse than losing thousands "invested' in chrome gimcracks and doo-dads. More power to them!

I saw a pic of Steve McQueen's *Indian.I have it somewhere
in my motorcycle mag collection.It was like a rat bike.
Lee Marvin also had a rat bike { term for motorcycle that is
unkempt } in - The Wild Ones -{1954}
I plan on keeping my CB in showroom condition.Only because it
seems easy to maintain.Short fenders.Easy to get in and around
the engine bay.

Steve Mcqueens Indian was on some TV recently, within the last year i think. I think it was at an auction.

I put 3M Defender on the front of my car. I have enough left to do most or all of the tank. Now I just need to find the time to get it done.
