Interesting. The Traxxion mega-thread was recommending 10 wt Amsoil for the Dynas. The thread you referenced states this. I definitely will pin this down if I decide to go with the Ricors.

"4 16oz bottles of fork oil (25.6oz of 5w fork oil per leg), Amsoil or Maxxima brand - ** Breakout uses 5w oil, Dyna's use 10w oil"

I read the entire Traxxion mega-thread! I think you will wind up with better results.

did a bit of reading on the ricor/traxxion springs thread, think will order a set and give them a try as are not that expensive. for the springs did you go with what they recommended from the rider/passenger weight specs?

I haven't pulled the trigger on the Traxxion/Ricor set-up just yet, as I am still considering cartridges. If I were to get these, however, I would order the 0.90 springs. My weight without gear is around 190.

I also run 5 wt amsoil in both of the bikes, along with stock springs with the intiminators. And if I remember right, the oil level used with the intiminators was reduced from the stock level. I have minimal brake dive and smooth ride and improved handling.
