Generally consensus is that on the curvy the most you can safely go(not measuring the fork caps) before bits you'd rather not, become intimate with one another on fully compression is 12mm-15mm. Without have checked it myself I'll say maximum of 12mm.

Easy to check yourself. by lifting front end up, undo the fork caps and slowly lower bike down till fork bottoms out. The distance between the dust seal and the bottom yoke is what you have available to play with assumming other parts that shouldn't be are not touching one another.

Cheers
