does a different grade of fork oil make any difference in the ride?  heavier, lighter, etc.?

i changed out the stock hd oil for the se heavy.  don't remember off the top of my head what grade it is, but it is firmer than stock.  some folks think it is too firm and prefer a 50/50 mixture of stock and heavy.  just don't use the race, that is as thick as concrete.  you won't like that ride at all.

Answer: Yes

But.....


If you're looking for an improved ride, look into a set of progressive monotubes ,a simple yet cost effective 
mod that you won't look back on.

Get a set of Ricor Intiminators. They will cure all of your front end issues. IMO
