Grease fitting on frame neck
I have an 01 electra glide. It has a grease fitting on the neck. what kind of grease and what is the required amount to fill? only 10k mi on the bike but I don't know if it has been serviced or if at that low mileage even calls for it?
thanks

I would fill the neck with grease till it pisses out of bearing races. Then clean up excess. As far as I know, Harley does not fill the neck so if it has not been filled before, it will take quite a bit till it is filled. Just keep pumping it in. That is what I had to do.

This bring to mind a question about replacement bearings. Are there any sealed replacement bearing for this application?

Pump it in til it comes out the Races, but make sure to use good quality Synthetic Grease or you'll end up with a mess on a hot day.
I use Royal Purple Grease and no problems so far.
