MAC Tools has a fork nut socket for $20 HERE.
A few others were found by Googling "harley fork nut socket", but none cheaper.

When changing springs different models/brands will displace different amounts of oil so I recommend draining and refilling the fork oil as SportyPig said. Unless you want a rigid front end, I don't recommend using HD's Screaming Eagle (15w) fork oil with Progressive springs. Stay with the standard (5w) oil or type B (10W) oil.

Post I purchased this from Mack

Mac Tools MN08-0305 It is $15.99, $4 cheaper but looks the same as the MN08-0139 . The socket (ONLY) I need is MN08-0305 from TOOL PROS for $8.91 + Ground ($7.90) = $16.81 .

If I buy the whole kit from Mac, I get it in 4 days with no shipping so the whole kit is $0.82 cheaper than just buying just the socket.

We shall see when it arrives.
