heritage fork oil level
Hey there,
I'm brand new to the forum and fairly new to Harley. I'm concerned about my front suspension collapsing over bumps. It seems to happen alot more than on any other bike I've ever owned. I would love to smooth out the ride front and back. I tried consulting my owner's manual about checking the front fork oil level, but it only addresses changing it completely. Is there any way to check the fluid level? I would love any suggestions on helping me make my hog a smooth-rider. It's a 93 heritage with 35,000 miles.
Thanks for any input.

RE: heritage fork oil level
If I remember correctly, it doesn't seem to me like it would be any more work to change it out completely versus just checking the fluid level. I believe I'd just change it out and add the recommended amount. I have also read on another thread on this site that you can use a heavier oil which will stiffen up the suspension a bit.

Hey! I have a '92 FLSTC with 40K on the clock and I'm experiencing similar issues. I bought a set of Progressive shocks for the back end and fresh fork oil for the front. My shop is going to do the work next week... I'll keep you posted.
