Yeah you're right I don't know what I'm doing lol.
Though the forks are working ok and there are no leaks so far.
If they start to leak I'll Do it the right way next time.

OK, so now I've finally managed to get the swivel stud out so I can get the calipers off and un seized (bikes been stood a while, got it to play with) how do I find out how much oil goes back in each leg? Drained the other grey gloop out, didn't bother to measure it...And can't find my manual...

I seem to recall from past life with NC24's that you go for a level 150mm from the top, spring out...And I always use ATF...

its 90mm from the top, leg fully compressed and spring out. i used 15w oil rather than 10w and dont put any air back in as it will pop your seals out lol!

hope this helps
