Now that the primary and derby cover are blacked out I need to do the cam cover and tranny side cover. I will replace both gaskets but do I need to replace any fluids. I will be doing it on the bikes side stand (I know not the safest way to do it) so I am hoping any oil etc. will flow away from the covers enough to do this. It looks like I will also have to remove the lower front exhaust pipe so I guess I should order that gasket as well.

 

Not sure of the Year and model of your ride, but you will have to drain the tranny, but you will only loose a little oil out of engine from cam cover removal. Yes, you should also replace the exhaust gaskets if you remove the exhaust. They are cheap.
