All the videos on YouTube show how to change fork oil on Roadglides just not the 2018. I am wanting to do it myself because I can't afford the labor rates for the dealership to do it. Now I'm stuck trying to figure it out on my own. Any guidance would be appreciated.
Quick tip. Go to Harbor Freight, spend $20 on one of the long squeeze type clamps. It makes disassembling and reassembling the forks SO much easier. One person job with no stress or strain. I just did them on my '14.

Do your fork tubes have drains
I made this for my sportster, but it should be similar see the attachment
Remove a fork leg from the bike, turn it upside down, remove allen head screw, turn it over and measure the oil that comes out. Put the same amount of SE heavy back in, reinstall screw. Repeat on the other one. Thats how Ive done it every 25k on my 16 since I bought it new, over 100k miles ago. Cheap easy and fast, and will surprise you how well it rides the first time.
When I did mine , I put 15w in instead of the standard 5w , made a huge difference , and be prepared , the old oil is going to stink really bad , Lol . The previous bikes had a drain in the lower leg , which makes the job much easier , but still quite simple without it , just take your time .
