Default 2005 Fatboy Neck. Where's the Zerk?

I got a little squeak in my turn and for the life of me cannot find the Zirk to give it some grease. Is there one? How do you lube the 2005 FLSTFI neck? Thanks in advance.

Right side of the steering neck. A small silver zerk. Take off that neck cover and it should be under there. Take a picture of the right side and post it, I'll PS it for you.

I have a 2005 SE Fat Boy and there is no way you can miss the Zerk fitting. As stated in a previous post it is approximately 1" above the fork lock.

If it has never been greased, it will take the better part of a tube of grease, before you see it oozing out at the top.

careful about putting too much grease in there as it will also spew all over the fender after riding all day and getting hot.

If you don't put enough grease in to ooze out by the top bearing, your wasting your time. The top bearing will not get any grease.
