Later, I learn that the seals pick up dirt as the forks jounced. I did the forks on the RG but I bought the filler tool. Made things a bit easier.
What tool? I haven't seen that. I was hoping there was something to make it easier but I didn't see anything.

1. pul the speedo housing/fork covers.
2. remove 36mm fork cap bolts
3. remove drain bolts on fork legs
4. go drink a beer
5. put plugs back in
6. pour in appropriate amount of oil through the top (10.8oz if i remember right)
7. reinstall cap bolts and speedo housing.
8. ride.

The little drain pluds are phillips head and are hard to take off the first time...I used a impact driver... Replace with allen or hex head screw. use new brass washers.

The caps on my '06 are 35MM.

Did MOCO change the size on newer models?

Yes! Screamin' Eagle heavy makes a world of difference.
