I'm gonna put the grease zerks in my rear suspension on my 89 VR, what size and type should I pick up? Can I use the kind that push in or do they have to be threaded?

Before you do anything, get down and decide where you want to put the fittings. You do not want them to get bound up when the suspension flexes nor do you want to put them where rubbing over anything will break them off.

I used the ones I think were 1/8th pipe thread that are a little under 1/4 inch outside diameter. I did not find a tap that I had that was perfectly correct, but I found one that was close. I then found a drill bit that was ok for the minor pitch diameter on the tap and then pulled the shafts and drilled and tapped. I tightened the fittings up and grease the bike everytime I change the oil or replace the rear tire. I have never had the bike creak or groan again.
