Have gone for a ride and these are a great investment. Aimed for manhole covers, cracks in the pavement and railroad tracks. The front end works so well you do not feel anything in the bars. Nice to install something that you can actually feel the difference. Thanks and a big "well done" to Brian@ Ricor. Now lets fix the rear shocks. Russel

For example, in the photo on his install post, mudpuddle shows Amsoil #10, but I think Ricor recommends #5 for my bike.

Yup, I had read mudpuddle's install/review, as well as most everyone elses post. But that was on a Dyna, and Lonewolf176 has a 2007 Streetglide, which I believe has the same frontend as my 2007 Road King Custom. So I wanted to learn exactly what he did (was it on stock springs, how much fluid did he use, confirm it was Amsoil Shock Therapy #5, etc) since his results were so good.

An 07' touring only has 41mm forks? Sorry, I was assuming the 06' up touring had the same tube diameter as 06' up dyna as well. 
Why would they have a weaker fork on the touring model, do the 09's have 41mm as well? I was wondering why Hal was recommending the spacer since it was only for the 41mm, should have put 2 and 2 together, my bad. At least now I know,
