ok i have some softail forksliders off a 2000 FL model on my dyna and i was wondering if anyone here knew how much fork oil to put in them they are taller sliders than the wide glides i had on there. Also what weight oil should i use ? Here is a pic of the sliders I put on there yesterday.

 

mine hold 12 1/2 oz. if memory serves correct. Better wait on more opinions. I used Screamin eagle oil and it handles a little better now. it made my front end stiffer and less sloppy

 

thats 12.5 oz for each fork

 

Hi,
Is SE fork oil thicker than standard HD fork oil?

 

Most of the guys change out the stock fork oil as it tends to let the front end bounce to much, not enough dampening. To stiffen things up a little i used the SE heavy fork oil, NOT the racing. The racing oil would be OVERKILL. As far as how much oil to add since your tubes are over stock length, that im not sure about. Best to stop in at a trusted Harley shop and ask this question. GOOD LUCK

 

I believe it goes like this:
Standard = 10 weight
Screamin' Eagle = 15 weight
Screamin' Eagle Racing = 20 weight

 

per 2000 manual....FL= 12.9 oz/382cc FX= 12.0 oz/356cc use the heavy duty, NOT racing.

 

thanks thats the info i needed now to get oil in them and get to riding again.
