Finally, albeit by answering my own question, I can put something back into the forum.
Today I found a distributer in Norwich that had SAE 20 fork oil, Putoline HPX 20 Special Racing Suspension Fluid would you believe. At the bottom right of the label is does say SAE 20W.
For the benefit of those local to Norwich the shop is Moonraker Motorcycles Ltd, Oak Street NR3 3BP and the owner is Paul, who is in to ?old? bikes like BSA?s.
The price was £10.13 / L.
When I filled each leg today with the 213cc of oil I was surprised at how little that seemed. Still, that was what my ridiculously expensive but original E-Bay RGS Owner?s Manual told me.
I hope that this is of value to others.
Angus.
