I have a Bashan Storm (inverted forks) this works well with the Hawk DLX as well (with inverted forks), I have used this on multiple bikes so far with great results. After multiple changes with oil amounts and weights, then checking travel and rebound. I found this to be best for my bike as well as others, Maxima 15w Race Formula, 280 ml of oil in each shock. This is on stock shocks with no preloads or mods. To check travel, put a tie wrap on the shock tube where it goes into the gold shock body, hit a few heavy bumps (or curb on street) then check/measure your travel how far did the tie wrap move down? Now refill with amounts above, slide tie wrap back up to the shock body, ride over same area as before, now measure the travel. This amount for the bikes I have done will give a softer feel, no harsh jarring from the front end. We have ended up with between 5"-5.5" of travel. This has been our experience, your results might be different. Hope this helps.
