wp 43mm fork oil height

[stainlesscycle]

just replaced seals in wp 43mm stock springs- i'm assuming 5w, somewhere between 110 and 140 air space/height - if anyone has a good height that worked for under 200lb rider, and was still plush - it would be appreciated. i can get clickers close i'm sure.

130mm, 5w, springs removed.

thanks - i put it at 120, 5w, no springs. it's not bad...gotta play with clickers a bit.

when measuring the oil height,this has to be done with the fork cap off and the outer tube completely down on the bottom tube?
like fully compressed ,with or without spring in the tubes?
5W oil in the forks too,right?

thanks, hannes.

ps: tried to search, but came up with too many topics to read
