Fork oil level on a 95 Honda Magna 750

I replaced the fork seals on my 95 magna. Looking at the manuel it says fork oil capacity 4.8 oz and it also says for oil capacity is 17.62oz. The question is how much fork oil do I put back into each?

SOURCE: what is the recommended oil for forks on the 1996 honda magna

depending on your weight and the type of riding you do its kind of a loaded question, normal fork oil will range from 5 to 20wt so depending on what your tipping the scales at lets just say the bigger the rider, the thicker the oil, now next question is what type of rider are you? mountain pass riding or just straight down the highway? have you had any problems with bottoming out at all? if so go with the heavy wt but also consider either shimming the stock springs or just replacing with an aftermarket spring kit. if your into just floating down the interstate then my friend keep it on the lite side.

I have a 1994 Honda 750 Magna and the front fork seals are beginning to look dry rotted so I ordered some new ones to replace them with. I can do some mechanic work here and there but never tried replacing...

its not an impossible job, but there are a couple of special tools that make it easier. and a couple of areas to stuff it all up.
A manual would be needed if you havent done it before. The manual takes 4-5 pages of explanation.
A good bike mechanic should do both seals in less than 1 hour, if you remove the forks.
If they arnt leaking oil, they may be OK, The seal that is visible and looks cracked may just be the dust seal, this just pushes into the top of the fork leg above the fork oil seal
