Default Recommended Fork Oil Weight for Lowered Bob
I know this forum has many threads on fork oils and the different weights, but my question is which weight to use for a bike that has been lowered one inch in the rear (Progressive 11" 412s), and will be lowering the front forks by 2 inches (Progressive Fork Lowering Kit). Since the bike will be substantially lower, what weight should I use? Should it be stiffer or will it be okay with stock oil.

Use the same weight as before, just because it's lowered that does not mean you have to change weights.
