Ok just spent a little over two hours looking for a answer and a old thread but couldn't find it so sorry to re ask a old question.
I've just re built a front end forks on a 09 iron, phoned dealer to ask how much oil should go in.
Now on the bike they feel ok but just wanted to know how much travel you have in your front end (sat on bike pushing down and when pulling front brake hard when moving)
I know springs, oil etc will give different outcomes but just after some sort of guide.
I'm thinking of sticking some more oil down them to increase the damping and stiffening them up.
