What's the factory-recommended oil gap in the front forks? I did it to 135mm with the springs out last time and think that's right but thought I'd double check before doing it again... __________________ 2005 Aegean Blue Bonneville - Intiminators and Thruxton preload adjusters up front, Ikon 7613s in the back, otherwise stock 2012 Azzurro Fiat 500 Sport
