Grease Fittings For Swingarm

#1 Post by CptHook »

Has anyone tried drilling and tapping a couple grease fittings into the top of the swing arm before, to make it easier to grease the bearings without having to remove the swingarm and all that jazz? I cant imagine it would really do anything to the integrity of the arm as they are just two small holes. Just seeing if anyone else has done this before with success/failure.

Someone did.Used bushings instead of bearings. but you will need to add sleeves where hollow swingarm meets the bearings.Otherwise grease will end up in the swingarm rather than bearings.
