Re: Fork Oil Poll
When I first purchased my 04 sporty and rode it I noticed that I had some excessive vibration from the front end especially when high speed turning. I asked a bro about this and his answer was to change the fork oil to the higher visc. used for track and off road. He explained that with me weighnig 3oo pounds this sort of overloaded the forks. He was right. After I changed the oil, the excessive vibration ended and the bike handles better. Of course he always reminds me that I am way too big for my sporty but I love the bike!

Re: Fork Oil Poll
Please keep all conversations and questions on oils to the oil forum instead of posting them in the POLL threads.
The POLL threads are for gathering information on the products and not for discussions about the products themselves . The OIL forum is for the questions and answers. Oil - Harley Davidson Community Thanks
