RE: Lubing cables

I use the oil recommended by Harley, if i recall it is called Super 8 or something similar. It comes in a pen like tube with a needle, works perfect. $8 at the stealer.

RE: Lubing cables

I use INOX which has a needleapplicator and is sold at 2 different dealers near me and that's what their service people use to lube the cables. Also go to the sitethat "Big Peter" posted the link to,there'sa lot of good maintenance video's on that site.

RE: Lubing cables

CableLife although I haven't done the Harely yet. While we're on the subject, how nasty is it on the '05 EG? It was a real PITA on my last bike. Also, what do you guys use to shim the right break control handle the amount recommended in the manual?
