Well, with air forks you sure save some money on fork oil, that stuff ain't cheap! But what happens if you have some sort of leak? Will the forks just collapse?

You guys are humorous.

No, I didn't drill it because there IS "stuff" in there, and I didn't drill it because I didn't want to LEAVE "stuff" in there, either. I would need the slider tubes completely off, and that requires knocking the bushings out.

Older bikes, and maybe newer ones too (BMWs?), have little drain screws. We just don't and have to dump out the forks instead.
