Default Drop in kit Road Glide ?

What has to be roved in order to get access to the top bolts on the forks? Is there a video or step by step instructions posted anywhere? I did a search but all I could find was a video for removing the outer fairing.

Look down on the sides of the forks and you will see two torques bolts on each fork. Remove those then remove the speedo and tach plastic covers. Once those item are out of the way, the tops of the fork caps will be visible. Now those are not the actual fork top bolts. You have to re.move the forks from the trees to get to those. Lift the bike, drop the front wheel and fender, loosen the lower tree clamp and each leg can be pulled out. Get the shop manual before starting this kind of work.
