You can use 5W, 10W or 15W according to how stiff you want the forks. You can also use DOT 4 brake fluid.
Unfortunately, Honda parts usually require special tools. You will need a fork seal driver, which is pretty standard. But you will also need a special driver to remove the bolt at the bottom of the forks. This tool can be made, but it may be better to order the part. Visit a Honda forum for specifics, since every bike is different. Changing fork seals is generally the same. Make sure to use a proper fork seal driver, since slight nicks to new seals can cause the seals to break. In a nutshell: Remove the dust cover, then the clip that holds the seals in place. Pull the forks apart being careful that the spring doesn't force the top fork out too quickly. Drain the oil. The parts of the forks are held together with bolts at the bottom of the forks. That's what the special tool is for. Clean out the forks and return the parts. Pour clean fork oil, drive the seals in place. Replace the clip and dust covers. The amount of fork oil is important. Check the service manual or a Honda forum.
Some VT1100C's had air forks. Valve was hidden under the chrome/plastic cap on thetop of the fork. Max air is in the range of 10psi so don't use the air hose at the locak gas station or you will blow the weals.
135cc for 30mm forks
They do have different part numbers, but I dont know if that seems to denote anything prohibitive to their swap. Might help to have the wheel and brake from the 06 too.
Honda has a tendency, just like most motorcycle manufacturers, to place the VIN in the area of the front forks, around where the forks "connect" to the body of the motorcycle.
