I couldn't find 30-wt fork oil, so I used SAE 30 motor oil.
We'll see how that feels. Some folks have gone to SAE 50.

While discussing the needed parts with MGC (Mark?), I was told not to use ATF in these forks. Rather, use 30 wt. fork oil. I have regularly used ATF as a hold over from my dirt bike days. I thought perhaps this info might be of use to other Eldo owners. Seems I am never too old to learn one more damn new thing.
