You've never seen my bikes. I wash 'em once a year whether they need it not. Otherwise I'm sure that a bike cover will keep 'em clean.

Do you ever ride it? ;) great looking bike Anthony, and I really love the looks of the new headlight. Actually, I was riding last night in a very dark street I was just thinking that I hate the illumination provided by the OEM headlight of the 750. Please keep us posted about your experiences with the experiment, I might follow your steps. Javier.
