20wt. fork oil is what you need for stock resistance, Larry. If the shocks are tired, or if you want to firm them up a bit, try 30 wt. (The 20 wt. fork oil is also perfect for your SU carb dampers.)

What this means, Robert, is that the overhaul on your engine has resulted in an increase in compression ratio - probably because you fitted oversize (or less dished) pistons and had the head surfaced
