You are indeed an Aries, the same as me - I was born on the 15th, although some considerable time before you
I do like the wheel design, its just how time consuming they are to keep clean, hence my tendency to choose the simpler 5/7 spoke designs. The Volans on my 850R are a joy to clean I've named the car 'Gunnar' as this is the name of the 'owner' named by the Danish Embassy on their documents. Its as simple as that sorry!

I've refurbished one of the wheels on my 760 (back to bare metal then resprayed, lacquered etc) and before fitting gave it a good coating of wax polish. While it was on the car, it was the only wheel that stayed reasonably clean and always came up the cleanest with minimal effort.

Poorboys wheel sealant works a treat ! Good clean followed by a clay bar and then sealant will keep em clean
A simple jet wash with a low pressure nozzle after that and Robert as they say

Well thats the first of the 940 parts deliveries hidden in the garage
Valvoline MaxLife 10W40 NGK 6BPRES spark plugs I already have a Mann oil filter in the garage, along with the sump plug washers, and I think I have a Mann air filter in a drawer there as well. I knew I'd be getting another 940 at some point, so I kept my spares lol. Insurance arranged and train ticket bought, so I'm set. Just hope it is as good as it looks!!!
