Those are some good ideas! I never thought of the motorcycle application. I kept thinking bicycle. So there is a lube applicator? What'll they think of next?

I'm familiar with Boe-lube, but not Boe-Shield.

It seems to me that smooth cable operation is based on some lubricant in the casing, but maybe more important is to keep from having corrosion inside of it. That corrosion would really increase the friction. Lubrication that prevents corrosion seems ideal.

I got those vent doors down at the kick panels working really well! I'm optimistic that the heater cables will be equally smooth, if not better because of the new cables.

Thanks again for the replies. It is good to have them archived so that the next guy who does a search can read the suggestions.
