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?

Yes the 450 has a grease nipple on the end of the bolt.

Bryanj:
In that case try and find a 450 bolt but you will need some holes in the tourmax collar where the bearings go to let grease into the bearings, it takes a bit to fill the void spaces but will come out at the end bearings

450 bolt will not work before you try to find one, I’ll explain better when I’m back in the uk on Sunday

Thanks Ken. 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 '70s
Cheers,
Jerry

Don't think there's too many on here that would disagree with the salt out bikes in sentiment.
