Alright Folks,
I got my new Ebay 1" drop dogbone links and have removed the factory links and it appears that the bushings that are in the levers where the bolts go thru that attach the dogbones to the levers,require some form of lube? I would hate to re-assemble this stuff to only have it seize in a few months. I know I should get a service manual (It's on the short list!) but if this does require lube any suggestions?

 

molybdenum disulfide grease. a.k.a. extreme pressure grease is what the manual calls for.
It's strange because it calls for "grease" in some spots and "molybdenum disulfide" in others.
Don't worry - just use the moly grease for the whole thing - it's good stuff.

 

silly FYI- because a grease has MOLY (for short) in it- DOES NOT make it an EP ( extreme pressure grease) - moly is just an additive to make it more " slippery"which reduces wear..EP greases will be designated as such in their name- Like ABC- EP..

also another good protection for bushings seals etc. is silicone- though it does not take the place of grease- ithelps rubber life

 

Right, not all moly grease is extreme pressure... My bad.
The one I bought is an extreme pressure molybdenum disulfide grease.

 

Maxima or Bel Ray waterproof grease works well for lubing suspension and head bearings.

 

Done deal,
Lubed it up with some Moly-Lube and here are the results:

I am really happy with the 1" drop using the Ebay dogbones, easy install and also installed a set of bar riser to offset the 3/4" drop on the front end.

And thanks all for the help.....I f the photos dont post right I will have to back and learn somemore!

 

I lubed the bearing when replacing the dogbones, just rub some HTB (High Temp Bearing) grease (you don't need moly) over the needle bearing before replacing the bolts

 

Moles last foto try!
