    GS A - Very fine job sir! I pulled my centerstand this weekend while putting on my new Wunderlich engine bars. Your mod certainly works the trick. The factory moly was all sticky, which is why my centerstand was always slow to retract. Now it snaps back and thumps the rubber stopper on the cat.

    Thank you for contributing!

    It's the one on the right.
    A chainsaw nose bar lube tool works perfectly as well.

    I am finding it increasingly hard to be politically correct.:deal
    When it comes to picking up a piece of dog shit, I just can't find the clean end. :huh

    I can vouch for the Harbor Freight mini luber. The price is right and it works just fine.

    Nice pic Poolside...I could see that on your screen from over here on the East Coast.

    Do you think you could get grease in there without the hole, say shooting it from the side?

    No, there are O rings sealing the assembly from ingress of dirt and water.

    You have alluded to the dino vs synthetic choice, leads to a discussion as to whether aviation or marine lube might be superior to automotive?:bubba
