steering head grease
can anyone tell me a good quality grease to use when lubing my steering head bearings? my bike is a 07 deluxe and I would like something that doesnt drip all over the back of my fender.

RE: steering head grease
the harley grease is what constantly drips on the back of my fender. I dont think water is the issue, dealer says heat. But of course when asked for the sollution he gives the standard "they all do that". there must be a grease that doesnt turn into oil above 90 degrees.

RE: steering head grease
My 07 FXST has the drip as well.
Cant get a shot to clear it up? LOL
But im with you. If I dont check it before I leave on a ride it gets all over my motor and everything else. I live in Phoenix so heat is a factor but it did it all winter as well.

RE: steering head grease
Maybe consider something like Aeroshell 7, or Mobil 28 Grease. They are both resistant to water and have an opertating temp from -73 to +149 degree celsius. I use both at work greasing main rotor components on our aircraft, and they are put through more abuse than your steering head will ever see.
