Fork rebuild parts for 06 Uly

[34nineteen]

We used to use a piece of 35mm film before people forgot what that is

2006 FLUID LEVEL--10W FLUID---113MM FROM TOP OF FORK TUBE SPRINGS REMOVED AND FORK FULLY COMPRESSED
2007 FLUID LEVEL--10W---172MM FROM TOP OF FORK TUBE SPRINGS REMOVED AND FORK FULLY COMPRESSED

That help????

A lot! Thanks! I notice your info says 172mm for 07 forks, and the 07 manual says 192mm. Any idea why the difference?

I pulled the forks again today to fix my “not adjusting” rebound adjustment. While I had it apart I adjusted the fork oil level to 192mm, per the manual.

Why? Because that was the info I received on the subject from the lead Buell engineer when Buell was actually a company.

As per Danny:
Air gap fine tunes the forks
Slightly larger air gap extends fork seal life
Slightly larger air gap slightly softens the compression characteristics

That answers that! Thanks! I knew it would be slightly softer with the larger air gap. I really, really like the suspension on the Uly. It's both comfortable and confidence inspiring. I don't really know how much oil was in it prior to the refresh (leaking fork seal which was fixed with the Seal Mate), so I'll just have to ride it and find out.
