Okay, the reason why I initially ordered levers was because the bushings in my clutch lever was shot. The lever is flopping up and down some . The pivot bushings must be shot. Has anyone had any issues with their lever bushings going bad. I did lube the bushings with my can of Harley lube occasionally. This lube came in the tool pouch.

It has been my life long experience with bikes that all levers wear the pivot..ones that have bronze inserts wear more slowly than the aluminum only ones..regular lubing "helps".

This is the stuff that came with the bike when I left the dealer.I found it in the tool pouch when I attempted to repair my belt that busted.





I wonder if I should use it as an additive?

Curve,

I also received that lube from HD. I think they used it wrong, though; the bottle is still stuck up there. It's really uncomfortable.

The weird thing about it is that after a few weeks, I started acting like I knew everything. In mid sentence I woul-

We were talking about using this lube as an engine additive. It might be the answer to all of our problems. I was applyin a coat to the plastic and i must say she was really turning me on.
