Ok so I went to the Harley dealer and they wanted to sell me something different, it was in a tube not in an aerosol can. So im back to where I started, does anyone have a link to what I need?
Thanks

For non teflon lined cables, this stuff is very very good:

They also make a good cable lube tool:

I have always looked for cable lube advice on dirt bike forums because those guys demand a lot more from their cables and cable lube than street riders.

Why do you think you need an aerosol? You want something that will drip flow into the cable and then dry.

Lol...wow!

You could just unhook your clutch cable and let it hang on the floor a bit. Your primary oil will eventually make its way through. I lube mine on accident often.
