I received and installed my uptite racing bashplate today and while it was on the lift started to wonder..... Has anyone had trouble with rocks or anything damaging the grease zerks that point down?
I haven't had any issues at all, and I ride my lowered SM610 in the rocks all the time. I, too, have one of George's works of art on my bike WoodsChick
I've had them rippped off several times and always use and easy-out to remove the remainder and the fittings are pretty standard sized so its not been an issue. To answer your question, yes they can be damaged.
