Grease gun question ?

Post by R100 » Mon Mar 02, 2015 11:53 am

Looking at small pistol grip grease guns.
They all have seem to have a nozzle that fits standard "zerk" fittings.
Will that work on the original grease nipples of a CB77? (They look smaller.)

Cheap from Harbor Freight, do they have this store in Canada?

It fit small fittings on my bike until I used it on regular size zerks, then it didn't...so now I have two.

No Harbor Freight here, yet.
The one I can get locally is a PLEWS LUBRIMATIC Model #30-132. Looks reasonable.

It seems to have a needle point. Does that have a spring and retract?

I was surprised at first but standard grease guns are indeed useable with the CB77 (etc) fittings. It may be that the Honda fittings are soft enough (they are made of brass) that the gun's nozzle will grab the fitting, even if it is smooth.
