2006 Super Glide 49 MM Fork Oil Amount

Does anyone know how much oil each front fork cartridge takes on an 06 Dyna? Also, do the tight wound springs go to the top or bottom? Thanks!

Just throwing this out there but my 2006 Street Bob service manual says the exact opposite...it says all 2006 Dyna's take 29.6 except for the Wide Glide which takes 26.6. Figure that out

fork oil amount and type

I have a 2006 DWG. is that 29.6 per fork? And does anyone know what they put in from the factory. Mine are really soft. From what I have seen it looks like 20W is the way to go. any comments? thanks
