Default Fork oil wt.

What are you running for fork oil?
I put Belray 20W in my WG. Now it seems harsh over sharp bumps and railway tracks.

20 is a pretty heavy. I run BelRay 15W and could not be happier. BelRay 15W is the the same as HD screaming eagle.

Thanks. I'm changing it out today.
In searching for opinions, there are a ton of ways to go.

15w in mine, with the Works spring kit. Works recommended using the stock fork oil, but mine was in need of changing anyway so I bumped it up a bit. Very happy with the results.

I changed my springs and went with Amsoil shock therapy 10wt. I'm happy with the results.http://www.amsoil.com/storefront/stm.aspx
