Greasing the steering apparatus
I'm doing the 10k service on the Streetglide. I find the grease fitting is well up under the fairing. Any ideas about getting the grease gun in there without removing the fairing? is there a 90 degree fitting I can use???

Yes.
The NAPA one I use. I'll get a pic here directly.

That's exactly what you do. Swap the fitting for a 90° and never look back.

I used to have a dedicated grease gun for the bike.
After this past summer, now all I have is a dedicated grease puddle on the garage floor

You could put good grease in it.

Just swap the fitting out for a 90, unless of course your extremely well organized or enjoy searching everywhere for the adaptor....

On my 05, the fitting was so close to the lower tree, that I couldn't get a 90 installed, so I had to settle for a 45.
I like Mega's option.

Noticed my 11' SG already had a 45 deg. from the factory. And it only took about 10 shots to show grease top and bottom.
An obvious assembly error.

It's made for Chrysler cars with the K frame front end, like a '86 Diplomat.
Works great on many other things where there is limited access.

Many places...
Try taking in a early 90's G van to the dealer for the oil and lube service and see how many grease fittings the young lube tech misses and never heard of, heck I think most of the new young ones never heard of grease fittings.
