    Just wondering if anyone has any ideas how to get rusty spokes back to their new shine, I ride an 07 softail standard? Tried everything, but seems they just keep getting worse, was thinking about giving up and getting a softail custom rim and getting rid of the softail standard rim...any thoughts? . 07 softail standard.

    ha ha ha ha i have the same problem with my 07 custom sporty, it takes some elbow grease by using steel wool with soap in them, and a few hours i do minie every 6 months or so but this time im going to try putting some baby oil in a spray bottle and spraying it on very lightly to give a protective coating and then when you clean them next time just use degreaser to wash oil off and re apply.
