Default Fork fluid level?

I have a 2010 eletraglide and know that I have seen somewhere that someone has measured how far down the fluid level is in the installed tube when properly serviced ? did a search and have come up blank. Anyone have that info?

Is 10.7 wet or dry ? when I did mine I lowered the forks 2" to accomodate for a 21" wheel and 10oz overflowed.

I just powder coated my lowers. When I put them back on I put 10.7 back in each side.

Adding the measured fl ozs is just part of the task, the procedure is completed by adjusting the fluid distance from the top of the tube, measurement depends on model.
