Girdraulic Grease nipple fitting locations

I added some grease fittings to mine when I put my bike together. Some of them ended up in spots that were not that convenient, but they work. I have been using them to squirt heavy oil into the bushings about twice a year. For some reason I thought that oil was supposed to be better than grease for this purpose. Maybe it is because I knew that the oil was better for the Norton Commando swing arm bushings. Should I switch to grease? At least it won't run down the fork legs.

See post #3 in this thread. No need for any drilling, no need for any grease nipples being added to the girduralics - just use the new, case hardened, centre and cross drilled spindles that are fitted with grease nipples. Readily available from V3 who advertises in MPH . They work a treat!
