    According to the manual for my '07 Firebolt it's 16oz per fork +/- to get the 4.21in/107mm from the top of the fork. Here's the pages I scanned from the manual hope it helps.

    '03 & '05 Firebolt Service manuals can be downloaded from this site. I have an '04 Lightning service manual download also that you're welcome to.

    41mm Forks require 7oz per fork, unlike the 8oz the 43mm take
