Default Replace Rocker Box Covers

While I have the tank off my bike, decided to replace the rocker box covers. Replacements and gasket kit are on the way.
I'm relatively mechanically inclined.
Is this something I can tackle myself?
(no, I don't have a bike lift- but can rig a pulley system in my gargage to allow me to spin the rear tire)

If you have a service manual it's not a big job.

Check this thread, should help a ton.

No need to lift, put it in neutral pull the plugs, and bump the starter if needed.

Checked the thread (and do have a service manual on order)
Think I can handle it.
Thanks a bunch.
