I'm reassembling my '76 Wing forks and have run into a conundrum. Clymer says to use 5.6 - 6.1 US oz. and does not specify an air gap. I cross referenced that with Randakk https://www.randakksblog.com/removing-stiction-from-gl1000-front-forks/ who specifies 6.6 - 6.9 US oz. after a full disassembly BUT recommends a 160mm air gap as more precise. All seems clear and easy. I added just under 7 US oz and measure a 255mm air gap. Anyone have words of wisdom on this?
