Hi All. New to airheads. I have a 1971 (12/70) R75/5 project. Did not run and was in quite a state. I now have it running and have taken it around the block a couple times. During this ride I noticed that I was feeling every bump. Not enjoyable. Upon inspection, my forks were still compressed(as indicated by the boots). I was able to pull the forks down but there was not rebound. Ah! Stiction I thought. Loosened the 4 points from the triple tree to the axle . Once loosened, the rebound improved but the forks were still sticking albeit not as bad (some rebound vs none). I removed both forks and tested the rebound off the bike. Left one is ok and the right is worse. Since I dont really have a baseline for this model I'd like to know, what height should the fork be assembled and off the bike, how much should it compress and return? The forks were rebuilt using a rebuild kit.
Thanks
Adam
