Cable Lube Recommendations

Honestly... the needle application stuff is worth it. Just by the fact that it's so easy it means your cable probably get lubed 3x as much as normal. You don't have to loosen the cable, remove from the lever or anything. Stick the needle down beside the cable, squeeze & pull it out.

Haha Harley Lube!
I wonder if they'll reject your warranty if you choose another brand of lube!

I thought Harley lube was the stuff the Harley salesman use on paying customers.



Actually the first tube with the needle is the same container I use but mine says Glock

I've gone back to this. I use a VW turn signal plug protector for the funnel though. I have had those little lube thingys, but they kind of squirted all about too much.

Might try the syringe some time.

Speedo and tach, I like to slide the inner out and put motor oil on it and slide it back in.

For clutch cable, I disconnect the cable at the clutch lever so it sticks straight up, then I make a little funnel out of tape, then use oil, most any type will do, you can be as particular as you want, and pour it in the funnel and allow it to work it's way down the cable. Any lube is better than none.
For Speedometer and Tach, I pull the cable out and use powdered graphite from a tube and try to get as much even coverage on the cable
and put some inside the sleeve.
