    I got a couple of these a while back; they were designed originally for working on dirt bikes but they will do the job on any bike and I had one made for the Fatbob.
    They are good value and I got one each for 41mm, 43mm and 49 mm. I used one of the drivers over the weekend and they are the ducks guts.
    I also got fork tube holders which I have not tried yet.
    Nathan is a good guy and easy to deal with.

    This was for my son's 07 dyna and he did his own research.
    He ended up with Motul 10W.
    Now as you know, HD generally recommends type E which is about 12W-15W.
    So I told him we would see how it handles and may have to add a bit more than recommended quantity or swap in some 15W.

    resealed my dyna forks a while ago,didnt research well [ my blue ] and bought 10w fork oil,firmed up the front nicely,corners smoother now.front was a bit soft so no idea what was in it.the weep i had was very light so i dont reckon much , if any, was lost guessing the volume was correct.new oil was added by the book.

    When you start messing around with forks using aftermarket stuff the oil weight and volume needed can be way different to stock, with my old wideglide I had a red hot crack sorting the front end, current bike has progressive struts in it, they work great two up but they are a little on the firm side, think I'm gunna have a crack at the pro action damper rod approach, no fancy valves or nitrogen chambers, a better mouse trap than the original damper rod design, see how we go.
