Yeah, definitely pack them with grease, it'll keep em from running dry since the grease in the neck isn't really under any pressure.

Figured I'd post this here as well. Finished putting the trees together yesterday here is a quick shot. No more tank lift with these. Bummed about that but the trade off in the stretched look of the front end and how much beefier it looks is worth it.

Seriously considering putting clip on bars before next season.

Looks feckin sick man! +1 on the clip ons, that bike screams low and sleek.

Might not be the most comfortable option, but comfy *** and bad *** are inversely proportional!
