Biggest PITA is re-aligning the brake caliper bolt back in correctly... If it is slightly off it will still go in, and you will trash the caliper.... Rear brakes will just drag and not catch....

#2 is the nut behind the primary casement...... Semi-PITA, but doable.....

MAKE SURE THAT YOU HAVE THE SERVICE MANUAL AT YOUR READY........

You may want to take a look at FixMyHog.com. They have a Sportster DVD that covers what you are asking about as well as almost everything you'd ever want to do on your bike.
