Read the entire topic, but one thing crossed my mind:
By replacing the top bolt with a stud and thus deleting the oiler, is how is the top bearing lubricated?

The lower grease nipple allows you to put grease into the gap/reservoir between the two bushes. So long as this is kept replenished the normal suspension movement will ensure the top bush receives sufficient lubrication.
Some people like to add grease from the top, others prefer to add heavy gear oil, some (like me) don't bother with either. I think most agree that the original one-shot oiler system just acts to flush grease out and generally create a mess, which is why it was deleted.
