<P>Cool Thanks, I was going to install HD (Harley Davidson) mid weight oil, everyone says the heavier better, were these designed with too soft springs?</P>

<DIV></DIV>> Scott,
<DIV></DIV>> Yes, you need a large socket (27 mm or is a 30 mm?) to get off that
<DIV></DIV>>large bolt to pour in the new fork oil. At the bottom of each fork you'll
<DIV></DIV>>find the drain screw/bolt; it drains faster without the fork bolt.
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>> I've put in 50 wt motor oil in my Eldo and that has improved the
<DIV></DIV>>handling over the other weights I've used. I've also got a set of Moto Int.
<DIV></DIV>>progressively wound fork springs (with pre-load spacer) which helps a bunch
<DIV></DIV>>as well.
