RE: neck zert
The easiest thing to do is take a small wrench and remove the factory one and replace it with a 90 degree elbow fitting. Then angle it toward you. Then using any type of good automotive grease, (spend the extra buck or two at PepBoys) start pumping it in. When you see it spilling out around the neck area, you are done.
Don't be surprised at how much grease it takes.

RE: neck zert
Been looking for mine on my '07 Road Glide. I can see my buddys on his Ultra plain as day, but can't seem to find the one on my bike. Anyone with a RG that can point me in the right spot?

I kept the stoch grease nipple, but bought a 90 degree baynet adapter for my grease gun. I find it easier to use. The link below should take you to an image. Cost about $8 and if you Google GREASE GUN ADAPTER it will show some options.

Also, I see there are 65 degree fittings at McMaster-Carr.

RE: neck zert
Is filling it up really necessary? I wonder because the steering does not turn that much. Is that the only way to get the grease to the bearings? meaning fill it so it will reach it. I have heard a few complain about the mess with the heat. Just wondering.
