I have a '92 manual on loan (which I must send back, sorry Bill!) that should have the info in. I'll see if I can look it up tonight.
Have to say a HUGE thank you to Bill "flatline" Mondok for the loan of an MC16-MC21 Workshop Manual, a couple of RS manuals, and all sorts of other bits'n'bobs that I've had for far too long now! _________________ Andy.

That's awesome, thanks. If asked if you had any clue how to set correct rebound needle position, would I pushing my luck? Any other technical data I'm going to need for a fork rebuild??
Thanks!!

Setting the rebound adjuster is the same as setting the NSR...
From Matt Patterson's fork rebuild article on Jamie's NSR Homepage wrote:
Other important things to remember when reassembling.......
To set the oil level, hold the fork in the vice in the vertical position, with the fork fully compressed. Add the recommended quantity of oil... ...Pull the damper rod and the stantion up and down several times to bleed air from the system.
Reassemble the top cap along with the preload and rebound adjusters.
Make sure to wind both the preload and rebound adjusters out to their minimum (softest) setting. Now, wind the rebound adjuster in 12 clicks. Fit the steel locknut onto the damper rod and wind fully down. Install fork cap and adjuster assembly and wind down until the rebound adjuster needle just fits in the top of the damper rod. This must be done very carefully and lightly so as not to damage the needle. Wind the locknut up, finger tight onto the cap. hold the cap securely in your hand and wind the rebound adjuster out (soften) 4 - 5 clicks to clear the needle from the damper rod, and then fully tighten the locknut (two 14mm spanners required ). Finally screw the cap back into the stantion and tighten.
Check forks for smooth operation, and reset to original settings.

That's it! I'm doing it myself then.
The bike shop tried to charge me 150 quid (30,000 yen) and they said they wouldn't even change the seals. The guy harped on about how amateurs should not mess with suspension etc. etc.. But since I've already done a set of NSR forks, I reckon the RS forks can't be so different.
Thanks again
BTW anyone fitting old RS forks to an NSR should know, that you need to mount them as low as possible in the triple clamps ... I recommend 5mm recessed. I.e. below the top!!
This gives you approximately 10mm shorter than the HRC recommended base setting, which is quite extreme, but (I am told) not in the danger region for trail and rake. _________________ MC28 SE -sold-

Maybe I'm really pushing my luck here, but any chance somebody can come up with the part numbers for the seals and other disposeable parts?? Collets perhaps ...
Really you people are the best ... who would've thought you can help me out where the likes of HARC-PRO and Japanese Honda garages fail. _________________ MC28 SE -sold-

Is the recommended oil spec. the same as the NSR (10Wt) ?
Anybody know the volume of oil to use?
Jim, that PDF would be great! I'm sendinjg a PM, I still need the torque settings at least. _________________ MC28 SE -sold-
