I put the SE oil in my forks when I serviced them. It works well for me.

No... If you were happy running stock than no need to change it..

10 wt Bell Ray in front and 944 std in rear works OK but rear is still a little stiff. I guess riding behind my BMW K1600 and Gold Wing buddies have me still wishing for that perfect ride, but I do like my HOG !!!

Stiffening the front made it plant in the curves for sure but I still can't keep up with my Goldwing buddies... and I scrape the footboards all the time...I told them I can keep up with the CB so they can always be found, well for about a mile or so anyway...LOL.

One of my very good friend has a 04 with 298000 miles on it... he said when he hit 300k he was buying a new or newer one...He is retiered and rides everywhere... I look up to him and I tell you , he has smoked some crotch rockets on the tail of the dragon a few times...When he stopped at the store the young ones went up to him and said holy **** mister... where did you learn to ride like that... He said that is around 1 million mies under my belt son... He is 68 years old...still rides like a ****...
