Front grease fitting
Trying to figure out how to grease the steering head on my Ultra Classic? Do I need to remove the front fairing to get at the zerk fitting or buy some sort of special adapter for my grease gun?

RE: Front grease fitting
Turn the front fork all the way to the right and you will see the fitting. \\; Remove it and replace it with a 90 degree fitting that will make it much easier to grease the neck. \\; it takes a good half or more of the grease tube the first time. \\; The 90 degree fitting is a standard 1/4" x 28 thread. any auto store should have it. \\; I have done this on my 06 ultra and now on my 08 ultra it's the only way to go

RE: Front grease fitting
I wasted my time yesterday posting a reply to this message, it showed up on this thread - yesterday but today
it's gone. - \\; what the?????
One last time - NAPA Auto Parts 700-2020 Right Angle Coupler. HD Special Purpose Grease 99857-97.
May take alot of pumps to fill steering head cavity before grease oozes out.
Lets see how long this post lasts. I thought they had this forum fixed. Whats the point of posting
if an informational post is gone after 12 hours or I guess its probably just me.....again....overreacting....
