Is it possible to make my front shocks more stiff? They tend to bottom out very easily....

Thx,
Andy

When I got my bike I found the front shocks to be why to soft and found that the oil level was low I went to honda and replaced the shock oil with good oil from them made sure not to over fill and it help alott not sure if the same would be for you.

I think I used 4 oz. Moly did his by sight. i think fatboy 250 measured. I can't find that post sorry. My cb takes 4.2 oz per leg. Can't help more

Sorry I did my by Sight just keep it belowe the fork but when i took the old oil out It was right around 3 oz so I would say 4 oz should be about right

My Roketa had 8ozs.

I found this while searching for the thread that explains how to remove the fork guts. I want to ad a spacer for the spring. Anyone know which thread that was?

My forks took 8 ounces each as well. If you find the spacer info please let me know.

Thx,
Andy

I did find the thread, and put 1 inch spacers in last night. Stupid me didn't take pictures while i did it though. I didn't save the link either..DUH. I believe Q was the one that supplied the instructions. I'll let you know how it works.
