I went to super shine the 04 fatboy and I noticed that there are small tarnish spots predominately on the brake side of the aluminium wheels. I am thinking this is from brake residue, but how do I remove the tarnish and protect it in the future? I have tried Mother's wheel cleaner but it didn't completely get all of the tarnish. Any sugestions?

I've got Vance and Hines Straightshots on my Kawasaki Vulcan 1500E. They sound great but want to tone them down a little bit. What can I do regarding the Baffles. Can't seem to find Quiet Baffles for them from V and H. I'd like to do this without having to re-jet. Thanks for any help.
