When I changed my V7 Classic fork springs to progressives I used the 5 weight fork oil they came with. I found this a touch too light and have now changed to 7.5 weight, but I had to order it and was quite surprised how expensive it is now. In the past I used automatic transmission fluid (ATF) which was cheap, readily available and did the job OK. Checking up on prices, 1 litre of ATF seems quite a bit cheaper than fork oil but information on the weight seems to be in short supply. Does anyone have information on this as I'm sure we are all looking to make sensible cost savings at the moment, and the Classic's forks design don't look any different to that used in older bikes.
