    I certainly would. Put in SE Heavy oil and you won't be dissappointed. We change fork oil on every 20K service at our shop.

    I think the heavy oil is more in the 20 range. I put heavy in all my forks when I change it. I like the damping rate better.

    Thanks to my little frontend mods I made last Thrusday I will be having to change fork oil. The guys at the local stealer told me before not to worry with it. Now that the tubes have to be replaced I have to change it and they said to go with the HD Heavy Duty. Said it was a better ride and what "everyone" did when changing fork oil. Not a hard job nor expensive anyway, I would say try it if you don't like it switch back.
