    Aluminium alloy isn't it? I've seen people use a REALLY fine grit sandpaper and Mothers aluminum polish with a REALLY soft cloth - not microfibre.

    Hi Pastrypete. No it's a genuine harley light. I had it put on the bike when I bought it. As for wiring they did it at the store I bought it from. As for mothers you mean mag and alunium polish don't you?
    Cheers
