Default Fxdx fork question.

Hi all, looking for a little help. I am using a set of dyna fxdx front forks on a FXR project. I got a set of rebuilt and powder coated forks off eBay and have figured out all the dyna/fxr fittment issues. The only problem I have is the forks are disassembled. I know a service manual would tell me everything I need to know but I hate to buy another one for a bike I don't even have. Can anyone help me with how to assemble, fill, and adjust these forks. They are the later cartridge style. Thanks.

Over on xlforums.net in the solid mount forum in the 1200S only section there is a long pictorial thread on a complete tear down rebuild and assembly. Far more explanatory than the HD service manual.
