I have a pint of Maxima Fork Oil 10 weight and they state it is the same as H-D type E. Hope this helps.

OK, thanks. My intiminators say to use 5W. Guess I'll find somewhere else to get some 5W today.

If you find fork oil that's marked type B, it's 5 weight.

I statrted this thread last fall when I was doing my front end work. I never got a definitive answer, but lots of good info... especially the chart on page 2. Maybe something in there will help.
