Question Fork Oil - Heavier?

Hey Guys/Gals,

I am going to be installing my Chrome Fork Sliders very shortly and I wanted to know the difference between the fork oils

What do people recommend for brand? Should I just stick with HD?

I have seen that some people have put heavier fork oil back in when replacing theirs. What is the advantage/disadvantage of putting heavier fork oil in?

Will I notice a difference in the ride of my bike with the heavier stuff in?

Thanks for your help

Ryan

The SE fork oil is good. It is 15wt and helps eliminate brake dive. It gives a slightly more rougher, more responsive ride.
