i know a 2003 Heritage is supposed to take 12.9 ounces, and a 2010 FatBoy Lo takes 13.4 ounces, so somewhere in that range you should be good

And it you want to smooth out the ride go for the SE Heavy (not Extra Heavy) fork oil.

My 03 took 13 oz in each leg.

12.9 oz. Caps tq at 40-60 lbs. Try Maxima 15w. Much better ride. Reduces break diving, better road feel yet not a harsh, rough ride.
