Default 21” front wheel fluid levels???

So I’m doing 10 different things to my bike at once. New chrome fork sliders 21 inch front wheel. 16” bars chrome controls...That’s just a couple of the things I’m doing. I have a 2007 Road King classic. I’m doing 21 inch front wheel only no lowering kit in the front end as of yet does anybody know how bad my fluid levels are going to be off? I’m doing a three hole oil change I’ve searched around on the Internet and I’m getting mixed answers. Please let me know if you have any experience with this...thanks

I wouldn't worry about it. It's only going to be, what, an inch taller than typical?

Jack the rear up to simulate OE (both axles equal distance from floor). Note the difference in fluid levels between the OE simulation, and the modified configuration.
