Default Swingarm Grease

After some research, I'm finding that there is no "zerk" fitting on the rear swing arm to grease it. Is it something That I need to disassemble and pack with grease?

I'm getting some squeaks back there when I hit shallow humps in the road, like its a 91 cadillac.

2010 fatboy lo, 22k miles. Haven't paid the dealer to do a single thing yet, not going to start now!

More then likely, it's something else. Try a few shots of 50/50 liquid detergent and water on the shock bushings. I could be wrong but I think those swing arm bearings are spherical and self lubing material.

Low as you got that bad boy, it looks like the tire is rubbing the top inside of the fender...haa

Its shotgun shock air ride, nothing there for bushings.

I usually just hit the bushings and stuff with some spray grease every once and a while. It seems to clear it up
