farmer58za Posted February 5, 2018 Report Share Posted February 5, 2018 Hi All. Can anyone point me towards a good starting point for oil capacity and weight for 1960's REH forks? I'm thinking 200cc of 15W per leg. Thanks in advance David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naichuff Posted February 6, 2018 Report Share Posted February 6, 2018 Contact REH just bought new ones with 7.5W As the new ones are the same as the original design just made better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woody Posted February 6, 2018 Report Share Posted February 6, 2018 But haven't new REH got modern cartridge internals so not really comparable to the 60's design? I'd suggest 180 - 200cc as a starter using 10W but as with any forks, quantity and SAE are going to be personal preference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farmer58za Posted February 7, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2018 The current REH forks are completely new, using much thinner oils. I'll start with 180cc of 15W (because it's on the shelf at home!) and see what happens. Thanks for your responses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony27 Posted February 8, 2018 Report Share Posted February 8, 2018 Most forks I've dealt with seem to work best with a starting point of 150mm from the top of the tube with the fork collapsed & no spring, gets away from having increased amounts of oil after each change Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
