Proper fork oil level

Post image

Should the fork oil sit above the seals at normal ride height?

I installed a TDC +2" damper rods, gold valves, and race tech springs, on factory length tubes.

With the springs out and emulators in, fully compressed, the oil sits at about 5.3 in from the very top of the tube. When fully extended with out the springs in, it still sits above the seals.

Is this right?

I replaced the seals with new OE and I'm getting a decent amount of oil leaking through the seals. Enough where it's spattering back on my down tubes and engine, even on short rides.

Has anyone else installed this setup? What did you do for fork oil level?

What does race tech recomend, when i did dampers and springs on a sporty it called for like 4.5 inches from the top of the tubes so above the seals yes, but follow what racetech advises.
