What is the equivalent to "Harley Lube" for cables, hinges, ect.?

 

for clutch or throttle cables, I buy a can of cable lube ( green can) with a cable luber attachment, you can shoot the lube right through the cable...I've had the same can for over 30 years.

for hinges etc white lithium greases is handy although i use a clear "teflon" lube from harbor freight ( gray tube)- radio shack used to carry the same stuff. it stays in place even when hot.
I use it at work so I always have some around.

I use hi temp bearing grease on stuff like the old brake linkages on the panhead- it sticks and repels water

whatever you use, apply sparingly, wipe off any excess or overspray

Thanks Mike. I was just wondering if anyone knows what the "civilian" equivalent of what the service manual refers to as "Harley Lube" is.

 

Kentucky lube, otherwise known as KY. Manufactured by Johnson & Johnson.

 

Chainsaw bar oil.

 

If you do not use moco lube then your warranty is voided.

 

Don't let your wife find a tube of KY jelly in your luggage. It won't turn out good.

KY!____________damn, someone already said it!

 

Funny how lack of ***** makes everyone a comedian.
