ha ha ha ha man it has been at least over a year since i have gone though a post and read every single response... i am sad to say you guys are all off... Every "REAL BIKER" knows... the only way to have your blinker fluid replaced the RIGHT WAY is to take it to the dealer! i mean come on... whats next you guys going to try and change your OWN grips or do your own oil changes here!

I ran out of blinker fluid 2 months ago but I do have some squelch grease for the CB. Can I use that instead?

Jiffy lube is running a special on the blinker fluid and jiffy stand lube. Their product allows the bulbs to run at 2X HD's recommended blink rate. You will need a rear bulb dyno adjustment. I believe the front bulbs are OK without it as they get better air cooling.

Yeah, but I hear they try and get by with using Chinese-made fallopian tubes. Only your certified ginuwine local dealer can give you the top quality American-made ones.

My dealer has always told me to make sure and use blinker fluid from a sealed container for each maintenance interval. What alternate use is there for this fluid, since it only comes in quart size?
Thanks - I definitely want to get the most out of my money.

once you open the jug and pour some out, you have to throw it away. you never know what kind of impurities are in the air.

I'll make sure to dispose of it properly so some metric rider doesn't try and use it and blow his blinker's out...

For the times the prop wash just won't do the trick you need to use "Jet Blast". You also want to make sure that you rotate the air in your tires or it will drop the blink rate to an almost acceptable level.
