I don't remember

Get two quarts - then fill each fork till it a certain distance from the top..., while the fork fully compressed

IIRC - the distance is 5 1/2 inches w/ the spring and spacer removed


Two quarts assumes you've totally emptied out all the old oil from each fork btw

16. Slowly pump slider 8-10 times to exhaust air from
assembly. Fully compress slider to determine oil level.
NOTE
Measure fork oil level from top of fork tube with spacer and
spring removed and fork fully compressed.
17. Using the PRO-LEVEL OIL GAUGE (Part No. HD-59000A),
adjust the oil level to specification.
18. Pull out the slider and install the spring (4) in the fork tube
with the tightly wound end at the bottom.
19. Install the washer (5) and spring collar (8).
