Looking for a light weight fluid that won't break Down with direct exposure to sunlight...

I use a mixture of 87 octane gasoline and varnish. I find it lasts a long time and has a delicious smell

A premium hydrocracked Grp III engine oil has been doing it for me. Blinkers are very bright and stay consistent, even under intense use.... highly recommended!

I just bypass my blinker MC and flip the lights on and off mechanically... one less thing to break and saves me about 10 ounces of weight...

Walmart branded blinker fluid does the job just fine, no sense wasting money on the expensive stuff...

That is an awesome site, but I couldn't seem to find any muffler bearings. Mine are just about shot and need to be replaced.
