Hello Rottiman, I use Amsoil everywhere else in my 09 EGC. Works great! I'm trying to find some info as well on Amsoil for my rear air shocks. I can't find any info on what type of oil is in HD stock shocks. One service guy said he wasn't sure,but he thought it was the same as the forks. I'm sure Amsoil would be the best oil you could put in them. As soon as I find what weight oil to put in the shocks, I'm using Amsoil.

Good Luck and ride safe.

Anyone using the Ricor Intiminators will be running Amsoil 5wt if they follow their recommendations.

Golden Spectro Fork oil is another good choice. They offer heavier weight oil for competition riders from 5wt to 40wt. I personally use the 40wt fork oil now since I found that the Screamin Eagle Racing fork oil was done after only one season of riding. Trikes put alot of forward down pressure on the front forks compared to 2 wheel bikes.
