      @calum on the main axis of the swingarm I have 2x grease nipples, one for each side, on the 88 bikes. I'll pop a pic up as soon as I can

                    I would of done if I’d had any decent taps when I was rebuilding my swing arm. Mines an 88 (allegedly 🙂 things change with 15 registered previous owners) and I don’t have any fitted. It’s a pretty shitty cost save IMO. The bearings were rusty when I stripped it down. Being able to top up the grease would of extended the seals life, which would of prevented water getting into the needle bearings...
                    False economy @ the buyers expense! The nipples are pennies and drilling and tapping 2 holes can’t be that expensive!...

                      I can't see it being a cost thing.

                      My DTR's swingarm bearings were fine. And besides the point, it's not a big job to pull the swingarm bolt and regrease.
