So yours will be like mine Buck, a piece of cake,no springs to worry about,drain plugs for ease of use...(why have HD done away with them ?...to get you back to the shop I guess, I know the new Dynas dont have em)....good luck with the job.

I have a 97 WG,this is how I do it...first crack the drain plugs (not all new models have these,I think 2000s do) then have someone hold a drainpan while you sit on the bike and 'pump' the forks to get the oil out (OK I admit it wont all come out) replace drain plugs.

Then while still on ground crack the top chrome nuts (I have a thin socket with O ring to protect chrome) jack up front,remove top caps (good thing with the WG is the springs wont fly out).I measure correct amount into a measuring jug (check workshop manual for your amount,,,usually 2, one wet one dry ie fully disassembled) also I use a grade thicker than standard,plus add an extra OZ per leg...I like it a little stiffer
Replace topcaps and test ride.....
