Default Fat Boy fork maintainance help

I usually hang in the Dyna forum since I own one, but anyhow, my buddy and I went riding tonight and when we got the bikes back to the garage here we decided to change the fork oil since we have a big trip coming up. Anyhow, since he's leaving the bike here overnight for the forks to completely drain he didn't bring his repair manual with him and wonders a couple things.....first, what "type" should go in a 2002 Fat Boy? E or B?What are the ounces per tube assembly? Finally, what is the tork spec on the tube caps?
Any help would be appreciated.

Go with the SE stuff at the Dealer...easy to find and worth the extra.

It will keep your front end from diving when you get aggressive on the front brake.
