The amount added will vary depending on the amount drained, I doubt that it's possible to get all the old oil out without fully stripping the leg.

That is one hell of an air gap compared to standard, which if I recall correctly, is 104mm (or is it 114?). I noticed a marked difference when I enlarged the air gap in mine from standard by 10mm - diving worse on braking but much more 'pliant' ride on the bumpy roads. On the other hand, I've got OE springs still. If you want to experiment, start with a large air gap and add oil equally. In pre-K3 forks, I reckon that a 1mm change in oil height equates to approx 1cc of oil as near as dammit. I don't know the inside diameter of K3 on forks (they may not have changed) but it won't be that much different. I used a small syringe to measure and add the top-up oil.
