Default Another fork oil weight poll

Tearing down the forks to add chrome lowers. Think I'm going to keep everything stock cept for the fork oil, will use 15 weight Bell Ray or Spectro. Looking to keep the ride smooth and don't really notice front end dive as I don't ride agressively, save that for my Kawi. Was thinking about Progressive springs, but did that on a previous bike and it took away the plushness. Thoughts ? Opinions ?

I went to the HD heavy weight, didn't see much difference.

Default just use ATF

just my opinion, the type of riding/handling that HD is capable of dosent warrant the use of "racing" fork oils. if someone were to have two identical bikes side by side, one with "racing fork oil?" and one with ATF i feel most would choose the ATF bike based on smooth dampening throughout the travel and less stiction than fork oil. if your determined to spend cash go with synthetic fork oil. our forks will never fade, foam, or get hot.
