in my fatty i went with a heavier weight fork oil.

i think it was the harley heavy duty fork oil from memory.

it made a huge diff to how the front end was, not so soft now....

TB

When the stealer repaired my bike after my bingle they put SE oil in the front end. Was using the standard that came with the bike. When I rode home and pulled up the driveway gutter the handle bars near jolted out of my hands

I questioned the stealer about the oil and thats when he told me that they put the SE oil in 'cause everyone else prefers it.  

I didn't like the feel. Way too stiff for me. Told them to change it back to the original.

Ya think they would have asked first!!

Depends on what spacers you have in with the progressives really.
I had to go back to Standard weight oil in my forks after putting in the progressive springs and heavy SE fork oil the handlebars just about bounced outa me hands on every bump, was way to hard.
But it is purrfect with std weight fork oil.
Everyone is different and fork oil is pretty cheap so don't be afraid to experiment until you get it right for you.

hi. you say you lowered the forks buy 2" using pro springs these springs come with plastic pipe spacing which has to be cut to the right lenght for spring preload normaly 20m.m. to 28m.m. depends on your weight & hard use . to lower to bike you would have 2" shorter fork tubes or shorter damper rods the latter will give you less travel on your forks, e.g. jack the front wheel & see how much fork squat it has it should only have about 22-30m.m. you can't lower the bike just buy shorter springs no wonder she handles funny.
i use bel-ray 30 w because harleys are set up plush for touring @ 55 MPH on smooth american roads . tip i machine mag wheel stainless steel air valve fittings into fork tubes top spring retainers with there rubber seal top& bottom & run about 12-15 LB air pressure in the forks on top in each leg it helps gets the sploush out & diving to hard under brakes only use a pushbike hand pump only as its only a small vol you are filling + keep them even hope this gets the wobbles out
if you want to get the next best set-up $$$ & install gold emulator adj valves + 10 or 15 w bel-ray fork oil , lovely
