I inquired on the list about a month ago regarding adding grease nipples to
this area and never received a reply. I was getting all geared up to put
them in and realized that it is probably beneficial to disassemble the parts
and check for wear at the service intervals, so I decided not to. But I did
have a 1" hole drilled in the center stand mount. Great idea!
