R100 ex police which is probably akin to R100RT
Just put new seal on a front fork, had the lower slider off for a week, replaced everything and put 225ml oil in.
Is any oil retained in the top section that would not have drained out,because a wire dipstick shows about 14" and I thought I saw somewhere it should have been 12"

Have you pumped the forks up and down a few times?

Does that mean you only changed one. What year is this bike?

Hopefully he's referring to the 1982 bike mentioned in the thread title!

There is only one I have trouble with, I had both re chromed and this one although it is within spec range it is only just.I have just fitted new seal and cheated a bit and tightened garter spring as an experiment hoping it may hold.
