10W is heavier.  Marzocchi or Showas?

SO fork oil weight is the opposite of engine oil weight, the higher the number the thicker fork oil is?

Showas.  How does fork brand make a difference?

Actually, it's the same 10w has higher viscosity than 5W and so on

Desmosedici - it's the new Paso (except the bodywork doesn't fit as well)
