ALWAYS use 'ceramic' muffler bearings when replacing.....They have a lifetime warranty....(just a heads-up)...Now for blinker fluid I always use a blended mixture that my pappy taught me how to make....Old timey stuff that I have been sworn to keep secret....I will let you know just what it is when I get permission....

Personally I like MGD Enough of them I don't really care what the "blinkers" do. I am just glad I am home and the scoot is tucked away in bed. Oh yeah. Prop wash works great on those hard to clean pipes. You know the ones. Where you got your boot a little close

I've been using the dooflesnouzer midnight nightster black special blend. Cost me about $42.00 a quart. But I figure you only need alittle bit so I should be able to hold onto it for at least a couple o years. besides the parts guy at the stealer swore to me this was the latest and greatest.
