RE: grease from the steering neck
My 07 FXST didn't do it until I pumped right full of grease after I adjusted steering head bearing. The bearings must be packed seperately when initially assembled. When I greased it took, and took, and took some more. Did any of you have your 1000 mi service done at the stealer?

RE: grease from the steering neck
It will stop eventually. Every service it seems someone puts too much in there and heat makes it expand and drip out of there. On one ride after the 10,000 srvc. on the softail, a big glob of grease flew up and ended up on my shirt.My buddies started asking me if I was riding an old shovelhead or something.Gained a new nickname after that one. They started calling me"Slick Eddie". Can't seem to shake that one.
