Default Electraglide Neck Bearing Grease

I tried replacing the straight zerk on my Ultra Classic neck bearing with a 45* zerk. The threads are different.


Anyway to make greasing the bearing easier without having to take apart the faring?

Yup, you just grabbed the wrong 45* fitting. They're out there.

Zerks come in different threads. Take your existing one with you to compare. Or as Cool said get a 45 Deg adapter for your gun.

LOL!


That that would be a tad bit more expensive than getting a new zerk.
