Does your SoftBrake lever have a grease zerk
***edit***edit***edit***
I RECIEVED AN EMAIL FROM SOFTBRAKE EXPLAINING THAT THE GREASE ZERK HAS BEEN ELIMINATED IN FAVOR OF USING OILLITE BUSHINGS. I SUSPECTED THAT MAY HAVE BEEN THE CASE.
Received my Softbrake brake lever in the mail today. Nice product, beautiful chrome.
Along with it were some brochures with pictures of Softbrake levers and all the pictures show the levers with a grease zerk. Mine don't have one. Mine is SB 014P fits '14 and '15 touring bikes.
I'm wondering if they switched to a greaseless bushing. I shot them an e-mail but was wondering if anyone else had one for a 14 or 15 and if it had a grease zerk.

). I put a small amount of grease in it before I slid it on.

No reply to my e-mail yet. If I don't hear from them tomorrow I'll give a call. When I ordered I had to wait about a week for a batch that was at chrome. Hope they didn't get a batch that should have had grease fittings. Installing one would be easy enough, but then you'd be drilling through the chrome, just asking for it to flake off at that spot.
