Dang it! That's what I have been doing all along. Only lasts for part of the next ride. Was hoping if I identified the spot, I wouldn't waste so much stuff! Lol. (And just maybe it was an area I overlooked)Spray everything that moves on front end.
Well then maybe my Amsoil MP or Maxima Chain lube are the ticket. My squeaks don't seem to come back for a good 1000mi or so. For me its always the swaybar links that are the main culprit.Dang it!

I've been using the fluid film on every front end joint that I can find. It will help, but usually by the end of my trip the squeak comes back. I just repeat it frequently. Wish there was a permanent resolution.
