Someone else suggested doing that. Either VSRI or here.I'm on a bit of a mission, forever fiddling with the forks looking for the perfect front end ...Aahem! Draining the oil requires the removal and inverting of the fork tubes which is time consuming. I intend to try many ideas and I ask the collectives knowledge bank: can I drill and tap the lower leg to drain oil more easily? I'm sure this feature was on my ST1100 some years ago. Has somebody a cross section view of the fork leg? If it can be done and I think it can,what would be the lowest practical point I could fit a bleed screw?
In anticipation, Many thanks.

Almost certainly voids your warantee (etc), but yes, it's been done on other bikes, the trick is knowing where to drill
Shouldn't need a large hole, 3mm is probably enough if you are prepared to pump the forks up & down.
