My 1990-91 manual, page 1-11, says 172mm (6.8 inches). But pmcg's higher level (more oil) will give a sportier ride. I might try something in between next time, like 150mm.

Hey Wakey1races, welcome to the forum.
I did mine last year and added a little more than I needed. Then I measured a small tygon tube 6 3/4" and marked it. I then sucked out what was not needed so that both legs were the same. Easier than going down the tube and measuring the depth to the oil.

I put progressive springs in mine. But if you're gonna keep the original set up I'd put in a bigger spacer to stiffen the front up rather than over fill the oil. Just my 2cents
