There is a brand of spray in grease I saw recently from Lucas Oil that is great in tight spots like on that stand. It's called Red-N-Tacky You can just squirt it in through a straw like a WD-40 straw. Great for lubing metal on metal gizmos with a slight opening but no Zerk fittings.

I have a 1981 FLT with one that is seized up.

I have know idea what the part number is, the only marking on it is the Patent #

PAT # 3-591-202

The chrome is perfect, but it appears to be heavily rusted inside & I cant figure out how this thing comes apart to clean it.

I am also looking for a good radio caddy if any one is interested in selling one.

Is this what you're looking for?

Hi,

thanks for your response. The picture sent is similar to what I am looking for. That unit appears to possibly highly customized though. I am looking for something a bit more stock

81 harley radio caddy. This is what I am looking for..

This one is for sale but you have to buy the whole fairing.

The first one shown is a shovel early type - the second type goes on the top of `the FLT dash not in a bat wing like the shovel uses

they are not available did not work well and you need a radio to ride a bike with no finger controls - reach up to adjust

reason they’re are not around your looking at stations not the road if you survive you will have lots of time to think it over doing that again maybe

think Twinkie and the rap music but you need to staple your du rag in place across the forehead

Wow a radio with *****, hard to find them anymore. Reminds me of the good old days of windjammers with cycle sound speakers. Could only hear them in town and you could kinda tell there was music playing at highway speeds. We all thought it was kool. Lol

A decent blue tooth radio setup in the helmet with your smart phone gets rid of all that stuff. Unless you don’t wear a helmet then I guess you need Harley cycle sound.

It's off my 77 shrine edition FLH. I'll never use it.
the only music I need is the stroker growlin thru the fishtails at around 90 MPH. 😈
