    Well, it's made by Showa and is what's going in my rebuilt forks--SS8 in my case. Who am I to gainsay fluid made by the folks who designed the forks?

    The price seems very high for SS7; it's $5-6 per pint.

    It's what I use, DSC02232.jpg came from Jamie, so if it's good enough for him, good enough for me. It's $12.95 per Qt. at the dealer here.

    I looked over everything and the Honda hp pro 5w looks a lot better than what I am running the belray 7w, so I should get a noticeable difference by changing the fork oil. amazon has it for $12 shipped a qt+ $7 shipped. I should check dealer too.
