When I replaced my bearings with the double rubber seal ones I used regular wheel bearing grease. I would think any GP bearing grease would work Ridz, Are you looking at modifyimg your blinkers or just replacing the rubbers?

 

For wheel bearings it is advisable to use a high-pressure grease with a high content of molybdenum disulphide. General purpose lithium is not my first choice but is not a bad choice either. The verable Haynes manual shows that a good high melting point lithium grease is recommended. Check out CRC's website on grease recommendations ( http://www.crcindustries.com/auto/ ). Castrol's site is well worth poking around on too.
Good luck.

 

what im trying to accomplish max is to be able to change out my tank and fenders to a custom set up. so its like a pair of clothes . but I do need the rubber mounting for the stock blinkers because they are trashed.

 

Will the 550 Maxim rubber mounts work ridz...if so, I have two.

 

What type of blinkers you going with? I took a spare set of rear mounting stems I had & cut them down, basically instead of sticking out so much, I brought them "in" an 1 1/2" on each side. I like the look better, but am still looking at other possibilities. oops, looks like I'm trying to hi-jack this thread, sorry.

 

yeah I started to do that to max but Im wanting to make them samll so it gives the bike a chesty look. Hate to be a pain max but where the hey is the rubber seal for the light assembly shoot ill even pay the shipping, wich i figured you could stick it in a envelope and mail it..just write hand sort on it..thanx Im desperate fot this piece simply cuz when I get the painted parts done I dont want to scratch the paint...thanx ridz

 

I dont know scratch can you shoot up a pic of them might be able to use them. thanx ridz

 

Ridz, that is what I did. I sent them in an U.S. Postal envelope to you last Thursday, I did not plan to ask for any $$, It was a gift!
