    The whitewalls on the HD some times get cleaned with Jiff, yes I know but it does make them white again.

    If its black and going in a show I use boot polish on black tyres, it lasts for months.

    Ride in the rain and crank it right over to really get into those sidewalls.
    Built for speed, not for comfort

    Rub them against something hard and the same colour so as not to discolour them. Tarmac works OK.
    Don't you look at my accountant.

    Nothing wrong with wiping tyre shine on. Apply it to a rag, and wipe it onto the sidewall only. Of you're bike is an absolute mint looking machine it makes a difference. If not, don't bother.
