Now that I am about to put my forks back together I thought I'd get opinions on which oil to use. I see Honda has both 5w and 10w fork oil. This is a '69 CL175, light street riding, 190 lb rider. Does it get down to how stiff I want the front end to be?

Its not just fork oil, there are some modifications you can make to your damper rods too that might help tailor your forks' performance to your liking.

Thanks, not planning any mods, just trying to figure whether to with 5w or 10w.
