Thanks for the Tips

, Our Harley dealer is closed for 10 days , they do it every year , so then I'll go down and see what they got . Gunna take her for a ride before the change , that will warm up the oil in the tubes and should help drain in it.

Just a tip,, the BR 20 my Indy put in is heavier than the stock light weight 10 that BR has. HD used the light weight in my FL front end.. At first I didn't like the MED weight, but after 100 miles or so.. I am glad My Indy talked me into the med weight fork Oil....Its not Toooo heavy for everyday riding...

Just my Thoughts.
