    what cosworth said. 10 wt. or 7.5 for colder climates. 16 US ounces per fork from full dry drain.

    clutch--you'll need the seal, washer, the friction plates, the drive plates, new diaphragm spring (suggested) and spring compression tool to do the job. energy one makes a complete kit and their compression tool is a fraction of the price of the H-D tool but have heard complaints about the drive plates in their kit. any H-D dealer can get you the friction and drive plates if you want to go that route.

    The old school fluid for both your questions 1 & 2 (guaranteed to illicit shock & horror from oil label whores) is just plain old ATF in both the forks & primary.

    We can get you the Energy 1 Clutch kit if you're interested. HERE it is on our site. We can get it with the tool as well for another $50 or so (but we'll have to check on that for you.) Let us know if we can help.
