Yes. Greg. I was referring to the sleeve to handlebar area.  I used what the Honda Manual said (also because it's what I had), but the same manual also said to use motor oil on the cables. :)  I found the dri-slide on the cables to work great. The applicator needle on the dri-slide is so thin you can get it into the end of any cable without major disassembly in most cases. And I do think it's just a graphite base with an evaporating liquid carrier. I'll have to check the ingredients to be sure, but it felt and looked like a liquid graphite.

Shortround, are  you referring to the lithium based grease? That's good stuff. I do need to get some of that. I think that would have been better on the handrip, than what I used.
