If yes, please provide scripture that makes a DIRECT reference to this PARTICULAR situation.
If no, please explain why religious guys are so hesitant to express their love for each other like Jesus wanted. What is so terrible about two guy friends kissing or showing affection in other friendly ways?
What is the farthest you would go (what actions would you take) in expressing your love for your best friend of the same sex if you knew they would like it?

No. This is a cultural tradition. Some people grow up around this behavior and some do not.
In some cultures men kiss each other as a form of greeting.
Even in the Bible, see Luke 7:44-45, "Then he (Jesus) turned to the woman and said to Simon, "Do you see this woman? When I entered your house, you did not give me water for my feet, but she has bathed them with her tears and wiped them with her hair. You did not give me a kiss, but she has not ceased kissing my feet since the time I entered."
Kissing even began to be a Christian greeting as in 1 Cor 16:20 and 2 Cor 13:12, "Greet one another with a holy kiss."
And 1 Pet 5:14, "Greet one another with a loving kiss."
With love in Christ.

It's not a sin. Guys are just too embarassed to express their affection to their friends. Other people might think they are gay and that makes them uncomfortable. Most people don't kiss their friends anyway, no matter what gender. Oh and the farthest i would go would be a hug.

A HUG is all I do for my female friend (s). You show to much affection the other partner could take it the wrong way. Should you both feel sexuel attracted to each other, talk about the subject before you get to "touchy". Male politicians have kissed each other on the cheek. Society takes things very seriously!

If you want to kiss a guy don't let the Bible stop you. Kissing cheeks among men is very popular in foreign countries. I think what you are dealing with here is Americas more prudish laws of Christianity.

I don't think it's a sin. I mean Jesus and his homies (disciples) kissed all the time as a form of endearment. Judas kissed him too!
It's just when there's tongue involved...that's where I'd draw the line.
Hey, I twix'ed one of my female friends...I had a short twix bar and she bit the other end of it. Our lips touched...and we laughed. One of our friends got us on video! lol...either way, we both know that we're Christian and straight so it's no big deal.

What if you were to give a guy a B-low J in a friendly way? How about being a friend and bending over and taking it like he paid for it?
F.a.g. Just be gay. It's Ok. Do what your heart tells you to do.

Well, that might be okay somewhere in Europe, maybe if it's like a greeting like they do in Italy or somewhere. However, I don't think that men should kiss each other in general.
I bet there's a weird story behind this question....

No, it is not, but if I were going to say yes I wouldn't follow this thing so typical of you guys from the States: "give some Scripture about this and that..."

it all depends if you are kissing on the lips or the cheek. if you are kissing on the cheek the bible says in 1 peter 5:14 KJV"greet ye one another with a kiss of charity..."

It's not a sin for two guys to kiss in any way.
