Author Message   Duggram Posted on Sunday, December 28, 2008 - 11:34 am:        Got new heavier springs. Dave at Traxxion suggested going with a heavier fork oil. Sounds good till you look in the service manual to see what weight stock fork oil is. The specified oil is HD Fork Oil Type E. Anyone know what weight Type E is?   Xbswede Posted on Sunday, December 28, 2008 - 12:01 pm:        Type E is 10WT   Duggram Posted on Sunday, December 28, 2008 - 12:03 pm:        Thank you.   Chevycummins Posted on Sunday, December 28, 2008 - 12:10 pm:        I put 15w klotz synthetic oil in mine and it seems slightly thicker than the factory oil. It made the settings a little firmer.   Xbswede Posted on Sunday, December 28, 2008 - 12:12 pm:        Duggram. Actually found another spec for the Type E Showa fork. Fork Oil - 16oz. Type E 5wt. Type E is for "Showa" forks.Part # 99884-80 Sorry.   Bcrawf68 Posted on Monday, December 29, 2008 - 10:20 am:        Found this cross reference on Amsoil's site: https://www.amsoil.com/products/streetbikes/oil_ch art.aspx
