Default Front fork problems

I have changed the oil seals, bushings and the "pipe ring" in a Night Rod 2008 VRSCDA and poured 750 ml of SAE15W fork oil into each leg.
Now the fork is soft and sinks at the slightest bumps.
What went wrong?
I didn't immediately assemble it incorrectly.
Does anyone have a drawing and specifications for the oil, quantity and viscosity from Clymer or something else, ?

Thanks Martin
