Good advise. Get a baseline measurement before and after any tear downs.

And how might I go about doing that?

The lincoln is done, well almost now the stupid air suspension wont raise in the front.
So I will be starting work on the bike very soon.

You have basic hand tools right? feeler gauges should be a part of the tool kit. Your manual will show you how to measure and at what specs they should be in.

Your manual even gives you spring length for the valves.
