Found these threads/posts that may help you out...

Finally, a good riding/handling SEEG

Front fork oil change-"How to"

Also found in my search mention of a lot of owners changing to the Screamin' Eagle Fork Oil. [smiley=nixweiss.gif] The following thread talks about that - SE Fork Oil... or Snake Oil?

I had Jim (HD-Dude) change my fork oil during the 20K service.  I told him that I wanted the front end a little stiffer.  He mentioned to me that the 20w rides VERY stiff, so we put 15w oil in them.  [highlight]I DEFINITELY RECOMMEND 15W[/highlight].  It took the handling from being like a Buick to being like a BMW.  Yes, you feel more of the road.  Yes, it's a bit stiffer.  Sure does handle better and is a lot more stable.  I wouldn't go any thicker than the 15w.  Just something to think about...

Good advice. I'll keep that in mind. Might even help reduce some "wallow" in turns.  [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif]

Handles like a different bike with the 15w.  VERY solid, no wallowing
