Good score.
This is the best price I could find:

Default fork oil drain and fill

I have a 95 fltcu and a 95 flhtcu, both have air ride in the front forks. I have borrowed a plastic fitting with a tube from a guy at a harley shop to drain and fill the front forks, but I can't tell you the size of the fitting I will say that it is the same size as the drain plug it made the job so easy
All you do is pull the drain screw out and put in the fitting and remove the shrader valve for the air ride and let drain. Measure out how much oil you need for one side and hook up the vaccum pump up to the upper fitting and pull avaccum on the tube and it pulls the fluid into the tube, when done pinch off the plastic tube remove the fitting and put the drain plug back in it is that simple takes about 1/2 hour to do both sides.
