Timing was perfect on this. Assume Type II oil quantity is the same for CB or CL forks, yes.
6.8 corresponds to 200 cc +/- (6.76 oz actually). 6.3 is closest to 185cc (6.25 oz)
Were those metric amounts the original OEM specs?
Out of curiosity, where were these numbers published. I cannot find any info on the Type II forks in any of the CB or CL manuals I have. All address the Type I which take more oil. Was it in a bulletin, owners's manual, or is this based on your experience.
Thanks,
Rob
