I have an 07 Sportster and I'm putting 04 Super Glide forks on (2" longer). I took the forks apart to replace the oil, but I only have the Sportster service manual so I don't know what level the new fork oil need to be from the top of the fork tube. Does anyone have a Super Glide service manual and can tell me what the correct fork oil level is supposed to be? Thanks.

 

Fork tube for 2003 and 2004 have the same p/n; slider tube for 2004 has different p/n.

Oil amount for 2003 FXD:

OZ ==> 10.6
Liter ==> 0.31
In. ==> 6.69
mm ==> 169.9

Note:
► Use oz/cc measurement if fork is left in frame
► Use in./mm measurement if fork is disassembled. In this case, oil level is measured from top of fork tube, with spring removed and fork fully compressed.

Not sure if oil amounts for 2004 models are the same; perhaps someone who owns the 2004 Service Manual could chime in...

 

Thanks FXD, I'll go with your numbers unless someone else has different data. I don't think different part # for the sliders will make a difference. I appreciate your help.

 

FXD2003Rider is a living, breathing service manual. My 2004 FXDL takes 10.6 ounces per fork.
