I agree. Just go to your local cycle shop and ask for Harley Davidson Hydraulic 
Fork Oil Type "B."  I used it and have been driving for three years.  ISR it's 
20 weight.  Shocks are much nicer on the '3 than on the old Datsun 2000 
Roadster.  

Hmmm...Was thinking today that the Triumph is considerably better built than 
the Datsun Roadsters.  Then again, I didn't do a ground up on the Datsun.
