Default Progressive drop in front lowering kit

I just installed the Progressive drop in front lowering kit (lowered the front 1") and was wondering if anyone could tell me how much fork fluid to put in the front forks (wet and dry). I know the harley lowering kit calls for a different amount of fluid compaired to stock specs.

First I drained mine completely, and switched to the SE heavy duty fork oil. And when I say drained.. I let it sit for a few hours. There is a lot of oil coating the parts inside. As for how much I put in. What I did was I drained the oil into a measuring cup, And matched that.

Hope that helps.
