Sorry for not allowing enough time for some to respond, but I was in the middle of this task, and fork oil was flowing on the keyboard
Thanks for the help Re: Daytona 1200 fork oil replacement etc. I was hoping for a volume based measure vs. linear as shown in my Triumph shop manual.
Based upon the vin#, and using a home built tool to measure as per my Triumph manual, it appears to be approx 300ml of fork oil to satisfy the requirement.
I did change the fork oil called out in the shop manual from the 5wt to a 10wt synthetic , and raised the fork a couple mm. All in all quite a noticable change to the better...
Now for the handle bars and a suitable replacement, (aka: risers) and / or the new tire selection for the big red sled as my next challenge
Again Thank You
Scott
BTW, I did replace the clip-ons when I serviced the front forks. I found that the Heli -Bars riser built for the Honda XX Blackbird fits like a glove, and really takes the crook outta the back of my neck. It took about 20 minutes to fit, and other than a repaint from grey as supplied to black. the clip-ons are gone, and comfort reigns :razz:
Now for some good rubber...
