    According to my Haynes manual [#2162] pg. 6.1, fork oil for your Legend should be measured from the top of the tube with the spring removed and the leg fully compressed = 126mm. Oil is specified at SAE 10w-20. Enjoy your Legend. I have one just like it in my fleet. Great bike ! :) ...J.D.

    P.S.Same.spec. applies to 900 Thunderbird, Adventurer.

    Have you considered something like this, think I'll give it a try should I get a leaky fork.

    Too many of these bikes are being hacked up by hipsters trying to re-invent the wheel. :( ...Mine is staying mostly original. ...J.D.

    If you ever come down to South Jersey let me know. I am in NJ 08088. Might try and hit a couple of events this year if the summer doesn't get to crazy after this lock down lets up.

    Also if you need one you can make a seal driver for about $6.
    All you need is
    2ft of 2in PVC pipe.
    one 1 1/2 inch PVC bushing (fits 41 mm seals)
    one hose clamp big enough to go around the 2in pipe.

    Cut the inside lip off the bushing so that it will fit over the slider. Then cut a 5/8 inch grove on both sides of the pipe about 4 inches long. Once you put the bushing on top of the seal, put the 2in pipe on the fork slider and tighten the hose clamp on the pipe so that it rests on top of the bushing. Then put the fork leg on a block of wood and hit the 2in pipe with a rubber mallet.

    It will seat the seal easily with one or two good hits.
