- January 19, 2013, 12:20:30 PM nope took 45 mins or the same as Sport Connection did, they look really good right now, very slight bluish tinge to them yet, but I am sure that it will come off after another session with Mr. Clean.
Weent to the Kaw shop and they have my tubes on order and my rim liners, once they are here they will let me bring them in one at a time and swap the rubbers out. So they should be done by end of the month.

Canadian Motorcycle is in QC and Pete's is also in QC in Montreal. Blue streak is just out side of Toronto, but both CM and BS offer free shipping, so perhaps. There is a Rocky Mountain place but I think that is US and their shipping prices were right out to lunch.

- January 09, 2013, 17:48:33 PMHaven't had any issues with the oven cleaner damaging the wheels or the tires. It's one heck of a degreaser. You only need to leave it on for about a minute, then rinse off. it leaves the white walls skweeky clean. then wipe the armor all only on the whitewalls with a rag. Keeps stuff from sticking to the clean whitewalls.

- January 09, 2013, 08:51:44 AManything like oven cleaner will damage the tires, and all the tire manufacturers warn against using stuff like armor-all on the tires, dries out the sidewalls.....

- January 09, 2013, 08:44:32 AMmy rims are shiny and metal looking and feeling and have numbers an dletters stamped into them.
I am wondering if he did the oven cleaner on the rims or off the rims, but I am still thinking oven cleaner is pretty strong stuff and I am wondering if it would not damage the rubber itself. I am going to stick the Mr. Clean Magic eraser.
