If you were going to grease the forks, which way would you go...replace that friggin zerk to an angle one so my gun will fit, or just go and buy a new gun tip?

 

Replace stock fitting with a 90 degree!

 

Where's the fitting and what kind of grease does it use?

 

Left front of steering head bearing, behind lower fairing trim....I use marine grease.

 

I replaced the grease-gun tip, as the 90° angle works better all-round for me.

 

I replaced my fitting on the steering head with a 90 degree fitting and use HD grease.

 

I replaced the Zerk on my '06 Road Glide with a 45 deg. Zerk.No point in buying a new tip when I had a Zerk.I used wheel bearing grease.

 

I also just bought a 90 degree adapter for the grease gun, and it worked perfect and made it very easy.

 

I replaced the fitting with a 45 deg fitting. That way I would be able to grease with any gun and not be limited to using one with a 90 deg. end. (Because I have a tendancy of losing things)

 

I just greased mine today with the straight fitting with no problem. I didnt think it would ever stop taking grease though. It took a good forty to fifty pumps before I started to see any grease comming out. I guess the factory missed and the dealer during the 1000 mile service.
