"If these things are cheaper elsewhere, no need to be cryptic and condescending." You as everyone of you are HDF members, not the general public. Condescending? Just read on this forum and you will get the information you need. I do not think you would talk like what you wrote behind your computer screen if you were standing in front of me just like I do not talk cryptic and condescending to you even not talking to you or behind my screen. I go to shows and I am always readily available and I always treat others if they were in front of me. Maybe you are having a bad day or something or quite possibly read my post wrong. This information is freely available to anyone here, has been for almost a month, since 2005 all HDF members have been receiving my service and special discounts not found anywhere else, all you have to do is put some sort of effort in locating the information. If all else fails than either call or write for information as many here have done so. In the last month read below.

We're like the bastard step children you have to keep around for the hot mom. Right?

how an oil change works and obvioulsy IM NO EXPERT SUCH AS YOUR SELF but the thinner 5wt that comes stock and again im no expert runs through the orifice much quicker losing damping....
from my PERSONAL EXPERIENCE when i installed the bagger shocks without changing the oil my bike road like a baby carriage and the bouncing up and down on highway bumps and the bottoming out on corners was dangerous.. a simple swap out to 10wt took care of this issue and the bike rides and handles so much better, ultimately i think the FACTORY bagger shocks on a dyna could use a 12wt oil to be perfect so in essence
THERE IS NO NEED TO PAY AN ARM AND A LEG FOR REAR SHOCKS when the factory bagger shocks ( most times take offs for under $100) will work just as well with a simple shock oil change for what MOST people are after...
FYI--i have a total of $117 for shocks,schraders and oil..
