Default 2005 RK Fork Oil

Ok...I've checked the manual for my '05 RK Custom...can't find the type of fork oil to use...might be missing it...and I'm putting chrome forks on...so...

Does anyone know what type of fork oil will I need to purchase for the change?

Thanks for the quick info.!

Try the SCREAMING EAGLE ( HEAVY ) fork oil. " NOT the racing oil "!!!!!!! Just put in same amount as you took out, easiest way.

hd has 3 types, the type 'e', the screamin eagle heavy, and the screamin eagle extra heavy (race). a lot of folks (me included, and apparently the poster above) have replaced the stock type 'e' with the se heavy and really like the feel. others have made their own 'mix' with a 50/50 of the type 'e' and se heavy.

try the se heavy, if you don't like it, its easy enough to take out and replace.
