I've got 10wt in my inverteds and it makes a substantial difference.
+1 on Ricor Intiminators

Stock oil is 5 W. Search or Google it. HD oil is 5w.

Race-Tech also makes a gold valve emulators that are fantastic too.
Oh and much cheaper than the ricor's

my experience is from metric use, but I plan to get the racetech springs & gold valve emulators ($200-ish) for the night train soon.
I installed my -2" tubes today...also bumping up my oil to 10w.

EDIT
Anyone know how much fluid in -2" tubes ?
stock calls for 12.5 oz... I am thinking maybe 11 oz
Any thoughts ?
