Chopper. What about a roadking with a sidecar attached to it. Would the 15wt be better?
Sorry but really don't have any experience with sidecar setups, someone that runs a sidecar could answer you better. I think the touring bikes float down the road, so much so I'd have a hard time staying awake on a trip, that's why they call them touring. Why change that. If you feel you need a stiffer ride that's what it's for, and like Bud said it depends how big you areChopper. What about a roadking with a sidecar attached to it. Would the 15wt be better?
I don't know if there's a magic number to go by for weight, Harley runs type E and most are happy with it, even 400+ lbs, most of the weight is on the rear and you adj. the air shocks for the ride, I would add a few pounds there for extra weight but I think the front suspension is more about handling & riding styles, a more aggressive rider might perfer a heaver fork oil because it responses faster. Are you happy with the ride? If not don't be afraid to experiment to get what you want you can alway change back. I have found harley's done a good in putting everything together to work together and nine out of ten riders I've meet are happy with type E.what about 415 lbs. of me and wife on roadking> what you recommend?
I tried the SE fork oil and it was way to firm. went back to the stock oil, much better.
I agree with duffey, most customers I've installed S/E fork oil for (at their request) have me take it right back out, makes the ride too rigid for them. The key word here is most.
