Default HELP Front end replacement

I know someone posted the directions or the link to the directions to replace the stock front end with the chrome one offered by HD for the Road King. Does anyone have the directions to do the same to an 05 Ultra Classic. Simple step by step would be most appreciated. From what I have read so far the Ultra has a cylinder in the left fork that has to have a special tool to replace. Thanks all.

Default RE: Front end replacement

if you do not already have the Service manual - get on, about $50 but well worth it and if you are talking about taking the shocks apart and putting them back together - get some help from someone who really knows what they are doing and have the right tools... at least one shock is under a lot of pressure and can "bite" you bad....
