| There is special air shock oil, they make different weight viscosity oil, for different stiffness shocks, Todd |

| Thank's Both chuck & Todd yes the oil is very fine / thin , I 'am still tryingto find out about many C C's each shock will hold , I think it would'nt be any more then a front end ,
Chuck the stealer said they just replace shocks if they leak no matter what , That was Stubb's , As there open on Monday's now | |

| Could drain the one that hasn't dripped into a measuring cup, then put it back in the shock,
Drain the other one, check for cc difference and add the amount you need to even it up. | |

| Thank's HRK , I did'nt even think about doing that & it will be the same type oil in the new shocks as the guy said he only had about 500 miles on the bike them change them to the high dollar ones & just let these lay on there side in a plastic bag & i got them for the $50 A bit cheeper the the stealer | |
