    A quick note on greasing roller type bearings....Its possible to overgrease them and cause early failure due to overheating. We come across this semi regularly in hvac service when overzealous techs get crazy with the grease gun, particularly in fan/blower applications.
    I was talking mostly about the swing-arm needle bearings...since Bill was very overzealous with the grease. When I asked why, he said, "you can't have enough grease in there".

    Now as for the F/R axles, there may be a limit--I'll let you know when I expose the bearings. (And also check the "How To" manuals on BassCliff's site)

    You think that can happen in a steering head or swingarm bearing that only moves a little bit instead of spinning constantly?
    Good point.

      Swingarm and steering head bearings would be fine I think. My comment was aimed at bearings under load and at speed.
