[Fot] Lever versus tube shocks

[jeff_durant at comcast.net]

Jim,
I've used different motorcycle fork oil weights over the years and found 40 wt. works well in my street TR250.  Heavier for the TR6 racer.  If your seals are weak, you will blow them out however.  I believe Apple Hydralics sells uprated seals suitable for heavier weight fluid.
Hope this helps.

Is it possible that the stock lever shocks with firmer fluid can be
functional rear racing shocks?  If so, what is the suggested replacement
oil?  Thanks, Jim in Sacramento
