Fork oils

OUTLAW-13

Member
I'm curious to know what weight harley's type e fork oil is and what would be a good alternate brand? any opinions will be appreciated. thanks
 
Type E is 5wt. I went to the SE Heavy on my Heritage, which is about 15wt. Made a huge difference in the handling and the forks no longer bottom out on big bumps. There are a bunch of good products out there, I think it is more important what the weight of the oil is than the brand.
 
you guys are right the e is 5wt and se 10wt .. i have 15 in my front forks little to stiff
 
I tried the SE fork oil and it was way to firm. went back to the stock oil, much better.
I agree with duffey, most customers I've installed S/E fork oil for (at their request) have me take it right back out, makes the ride too rigid for them. The key word here is most.
