Ricor website shows this: click here which is very low viscosity, similar to std HD fork oil.

Hope that helps.

Yes I got this from Ricor.
Unfortunately i'm in India right now and cannot get a AMSOIL 10W50 here.
Can you pls suggest me any equivalent HD oil for a 10W50 that I can get from a dealer?
The dealer carries
Type B
Type E
SE Fork Oil
Which one should I use?

My 2010 Service manual says the WG is 29.4 oz. / 3.74 inches from top of fork tube

see section 2-58, table 2-12
