    RCBS cartridge case resizing lube works great. It's about 5 bucks a bottle wherever gun stuff is sold...

    Geezer

    The old gray biker ain't what he used to be.

      The 'Penrite' seller sent me a sample, and that's the stuff. $15 for a probably lifetime supply...

      This, being a grease, won't run off or evaporate and will help prevent corrosion from coming back behind the piston seals and at the master cylinders. Non-soluble in brake fluid, it helps keep water out of places you don't want it.
      Fast, Cheap, Reliable... Pick any two

          It states in the description that the CRC Synthetic Brake Caliper Grease can also be used to lube caliper o-rings.

            It appears that their info is incorrect, this product is not for use on the seals and piston. There is a product made by permatex called "Ultra Disc Brake Caliper Lube", item #24110 that I found at Auto Zone. It was $10.99 for 8 oz. of the stuff, enough for several bikes.

            http://www.permatex.com/products/Aut...per_Lube_1.htm

            The directions on the container state 1. Clean all caliper parts to be lubricated with brake cleaner. 2. Apply Caliper Lube to pins, slides, bushings, pistons and rubber sleeves and seals. 3. Lubricant can also be used as a noise suppressor to eliminate caliper brake squeal.

              I found it at my local NAPA available in 5 gram pkgs. It was as someone before said "Countermans Choice" and as Larry said here made by Permatex. It is a freebie when you by brake parts here. I was given 2 pkgs of it just for asking if they knew what it was. I can not tell you the part number but I can tell you it says "Item#31877 8031877" on the pkg and the bar code number is 6816131877. Here is a pic of it just for fun.
