    What was it that you use to lube your cables? I know you posted a pic of it at one time but I can't find it anymore. It was some kind of oil but it looked like it had a syringe on it or something like that?

    JB, this is what I was using. Works well for general maintenance but if it is real bad you can also use the Zip lock baggie and rubber band trick. WD 40 with graphite mixed together works well also. You can also replace it with a Teflon coated cable.

    Here is the link to what you first asked. http://www.latus-harley-davidson.com/Harley-Lube.htm

    Here it is at Harley also.

    Also here is a pic of lubricating it with the zip lock baggie trick. Don't know about the transmission oil though.
