How many CC's of oil should I use in the forks on my 73 trials?
It has the Modern Profile forks.

Jeff,on the stickers that came on Metal Profile forks it said "150 cc's of 10w30 oil". You probably need to play with amounts and weights to suit you. I settled on 160 cc of 7w. If they bottom too easy try 170cc. Have fun fiddlin' with them.
Maybe we can talk Randy into stickers for them. He's the PRO.

Lew, thanks for the info. Going to get some oil tonight.
Randy would be the one for the stickers,
I got my tank stickers from him and they look great.
