    Cleaning Motorcycle Engine Fins?

    One of the toughest places on a mortorcycle to clean, the engine fins...

    I`m thinking of using straw cleaning brushes (I just ordered some on Amazon), but does anyone have any better ideas?

    Lot of people will use these. I have some and their handy



    For that I would use something flat and thin similar to a credit card and wrap it with a Wet (use rinselss wash) Microfiber towel.

    Paint brush with tire/wheel cleaner works on my cycles.

    I dunno, if you plan on riding the bike again, I wouldn`t spend hours on that task.

    After looking high and low, I think I`ve found the perfect thing to do the job.

    I ordered three packs from Amazon, they are the perfect width of the fins and I think the bristles are stiff enough to be able to scrub away any dirt and grime.

    I guess I`ll find out...

    Those could be perfect, hope they work out.

    Another place to check for such stuff is an outfit called "The World`s Best Brushes" (or something like that..), affiliated with Lilliput, a company that sells all sorts of [crap] you can, uhm...accumulate...
