Fit a grease nipple like on the 400 OR modify a 500 through bolt to fit that has grease nipples on the end, dont think much would need to be done.No the end bearings are not waterproof which is why you need to regrease regularly.Q does the 450 twin have grease nipples on the bolt?
450 bolt will not work before you try to find one, I’ll explain better when I’m back in the uk on Sunday

On hold 'till you get back.Thinking about it....I was wondering whether fitting a grease nipple is likely to be needed as my bikes don't go out in the rain unless I get caught out, so I don't expect to be putting those bearings under any threat. When the salt goes down, the bikes go to bed until the spring.... I'm a bit of wimp !!. I did all my crap weather riding back in the '70sCheers,Jerry
