Default Soft front end

My front end bottoms out easy over medium size bumps. I was thinking I should change the fork oil to a heaver one. Any recamendations or comments. An independant mechanic told me 2 hrs labor maybe a lil less, does that seam right? My bike is an 04 dyna superglide and I weigh 210 lbs, Thanks

ha ha ha NO that does not seem right at all, you can do this in your garage, just pull the drain bolts let them drain and refill, either that or you can take of the top cap and pour them out as well, then pump the shock a few times to get it all out. add in the req amount. i run a 10w/15w blend and i am a bit bigger than you and ride 2 up on occasion, i love this set up, i run 3/4 15 w and 1/4 10 w
