Gas Tank Cap Locked Solid

graphite powder dry lube that does'nt attract dirt and crap.

I just spray my key with WD-40 once a month seems to do the trick though
 
Lupe is always eying up the exhaust pipe on his rocket. What kind of lube should he use. One of those two part kind like "KY his and It's" ?
 

I agree, CLP works magic on lots of things and if you wipe off the excess it does not attrack dust, it just leaves a slick teflon coating.

It was actually developed for the military to make the M-16 more reliable. I use it on all my guns too.

Scott, I was just thinking about you, wondering how your recovery is going.

Weather is great out here. 66 today and has been nice all week.

My bike is in IL and I am planning a trip home to pick it up April 5th. We definitely need to do that River Road ride. If all goes right I'll have two weeks off starting the 5th.

I do plan to look at a 5th wheel camper / toy hauler that is a repo at a bank. If I can buy it right I'll have funds left over for some Carpenter stuff. I did decide to put off the new paint this winter and do some Carpenter mods first. I do have the KN triple filters to install but I am thinking I will wind up with a Piper set up. I have some ideas on that.

I'm really missing the bike, would have been on it three weeks ago out here. When I was home last Thanksgiving my son came back out here with me and I didn't have room for the bike and the stuff he needed to move.

I use Break-Free CLP gun oil. It has a teflon in it and a few drops will last all year. Just a couple drops in the spring and both locks turn like new all year long.

Being in the military, CLP is a blessing. You are indeed correct a couple of drops will do. The Teflon works magic.
 
I had the lock smith remove the internals on my standard's gas cap so any key will work. I had him re-key my Roadster so the ignition key will work. Nominal fee for much more convenience. (Still need to re-key the seat, though.)
