My 1994 K1100LT needs fork oil. I did a search here and found the info I needed except what brand and type etc. to use.

You can't go wrong with BMW. It's what I use - 10W. Don't know who makes it for them.

I'm like Jim, I use the BMW 7.5wt.
But you also have to consider how you ride. Some guys like the heavier oil. I'm considering trying it to see what the difference is if I like it or not. It's not that hard to change.
Ride safe
