Smile Fork Oil Capacities All Years and Models

I searched the internet for this info and found there wasn't anything out there. Most of us don't have a harley manual anymore!

"Dry fork requires .5 to 1.0oz more than the wet amount due to residual oil left clinging inside the fork." Use 20 weight for average conditions. For extreme conditions use 10 weight or 30 weight accordingly."

-WET: Means you just drained the oil out of the plug and want to refill it.

-DRY: Means you dissassembled the forks and cleaned them dry inside/out.

WET.....DRY...(oz)............MODEL/YEAR.........................................

5.5 ..... 6.5 ...... Sportster thru 1972
5.0 ..... 6.0 ..... Sportster 1972-83
5.4 ..... 6.5 ..... Sportster 1984-87

7.75 ..... 8.5 ..... FL/FLH L1977-84
