Default Fork oil

trying 1/2" more on spacer and going to 20w fork oil
2009 road king Ohlins 357HD on rear trying to match suspension
i'm 6'4 255lbs bike is just tad under 900lbs
trying 1.75" spacer with 20w oil. screw screamin eagle they don't want to post the oil weight on lable, just saying it's heavy duty, actually found it to be 15w
THANKS FOR THE SHOCKS HOWARD AND THE ADVISE, EVERYTHING IS FALLING INTO PLACE. MOTORCYCLEMETAL.COM
