TR6 What type of oil for TR6 rear shocks?

[ichthos]

I am currently rebuilding the rear suspension. While I am waiting on parts, I decided to clean, inspect, and remove the oil from my rear shocks. I had read in one of my articles that I should use 15WT oil - is this correct? I went to three auto supply stores and none carried this. What should I be using, and how full do I fill the shock? Any help would greatly be appreciated.

Any independant or Harley motorcycle shop should have 15 weight shock oil.

Whether that is 'correct' or not, I don't know.

Should be a small air space at the top, maybe 3/8" or so.

PS, most LBC vendors carry 'proper' shock oil, tho it tends to be expensive.
