Anyone know where I might be able to obtain a swing arm grease fitting? My right side zerk snapped off when removing the grease gun. I was able to remove the piece with an "easy out". Not sure what the thread size is but it seems smaller than what I am used to seeing on American autos.

My local Ace hardware store carries metric zerks.

Buy those new fittings by the bunch. Our US grease guns don't fit those Japanese grease fittings very well. I changed out all the ones on my bikes for ones that work better.

I got a big bag of Made in USA Mize brand M6 fittings off eBay cheap (50 pack for $9.25, or 19 cents each). They're beautiful.
