Default Cable Lube???

Getting ready for my trip. Just wondering what everyone uses to lube the clutch, throttle and idle cable. Thanks in advance for your help. I have heard INOX is good and comes with the injector needle but I cant locate it locally anywhere.

You and I must think alike. I use Breakfree CLP because that's what I have. Seems to work okay.

I have a tool made to lube those cables.. I don't remember the brand, but all cycle shops have it.. It's a can of lube and an attachment that forces the lube into the cable housing... It was like $12 or so.. Bought it for my Yamaha, works on the Ultra also!
