When I did my fronts with urethane, I greased them with a copper-based
anti-seize. It's been a few years now w/o a squeek...
YMMV, Kevin.
PS. Clutch components have been ordred. Will be cross bolting the fork.
Went with a B&B kit. Total cost including a new trans. cover should be
about $200 w/o my poor labor costs.
