Lightsphere...........
I am slightly baffled by the nipple inconsistencies, but it looks like two each side may now be the norm. Well Spotted, That man! I've just read your thread and got under young 2007 'Lellow' Mog and there they are, Two extra nipples, right on the top. 90degrees pointing to the back - They feel as dry as a bone so will need to pop a few squeezes in on Sunday (off to Silverstone Bentley day tomorrow. Whe I picked up the Mog with its new U bolts there was a 2006 with 20k on the clock having new King Pins for its MOT. That seems a short life span. Is that normal Dave or lack of regular greasing??

HoHoHo................  I don't know Frank - is the answer. I think it varies a lot. I'm still annoyed about my advisories in June with such a small mileage, but next year my usual man will test it, not the dealer, so we'll see. I will be getting some hard chrome pins when I do it, and it will make a splendid post. I haven't done any kingpins for years!!!!! I grease mine every few hundred miles. It's easy without taking the wheels off if the front is jacked up - but take care that none gets on the brake discs when you do the lower pair.

Morgan grease nipples are a whole new experience, here we have a 2007 model with them pointing to the back- no wonder they are dry, even on my 2004 car, Morgan hade fitted straight nipples which are part blocked by the shock absorber making greasing a pig - the answer, do what the factory should have done and fit 90 deg nipples with the ends facing down.

I decided not to try and Grease them today as I am now wondering where grease sent down there will go. Any ideas Dave?
