Steering head bearing
I put my 1985 FLTC up for the winter today and have it up on the lift. It no longer has a fairing as it was changed out for a windshield and is now a single head light. I was looking for the steering head bearing grease fitting and see none. Am I missing something or do I need to disassemble a lot to find it. Thanks

I can't help thinking that carrying around half a can of grease in the steering head isn't a very good idea! It's not as if it is going to do anything useful, just to be thrown away many years hence, so I wouldn't bother putting a grease nipple there myself. Head bearings normally last donkey's years in my experience, so replace and grease when they need it.
