Need some info on using stock '32 shocks. What type oil ? how to fill them properly. Do you have to work it in etc.?
I don't have experience with specific 32 shocks but on others, I've used hydraulic jack oil. Little square plug, just fill it up and move the arm up and down.
I would use motorcylce fork oil, available at most any motorcycle shop, or online. Hydraulic jack oil would not contain much in the way of additives, fork oil is engineered for this type of application, it will contain additives to reduce stiction and wear and maybe most importantly, anti-foam additives to reduce the accumulation of foam inside the shocks, which will make them completely useless once it forms. Also, it comes in various viscosities, so you can fine tune the performance of the shocks with different viscosities.
