I'm fixin' to switch out bars, grips & new Amal throttle. Does the throttle get any lube?

If you mean the twist grip throttle then yes, it does.
Every moving part need some kind of lubricant. Oiling the cables is recommended too.
I use grease on my slides too. It helps with air leakage as well as provides for smooth sliding slides. In my opinion anyway
'73 850 COMMANDO
'74 850 COMMANDO
Restored the '74 and restoring the '73 this year.
I have 2 parts to buy. Now, if I can only find $5000 lying about.
I live in Woodland, Cal.
