I agree with Ted. When I first heard the old saw about grease attracting dirt better than oil, it was obviously BS. But it's been repeated so many times it's caught on as the truth.
What property of grease vs. oil could account for this belief? Tackiness? If so, that's what you want so it stays where you put it.
I use an engine assembly lube on hinges and locking bolts. Jim Legg turned me on to this, and it works great. It stays put.
My XS has seen nothing but, it's tight as the day it was made 15,000 shells later and the lever is in the as delivered location. What lubrication product could perform better than perfection?
