The front u-joint is non-greaseable protected from the elements where the rear u-joint is pretty much exposed.
The rear u-joint has a zerk fitting and there is a zerk fitting on the dog-bone pivot at the swingarm as well.
Make sure each has plenty of grease.
Happy Trike Riding !!!!!

If you are in a pinch this will work if you are real careful
You can slip the needle point in the u joint dust boot cap and pump a bit of new grease in This adapter can be had for about 10 dollars at Harbor Freight
