man i got one of them sockets, with the lead in chamfer and the oring they are to shallow and want to slip off, i pulled the handlebars and used a standard socket. just my opinion
Yea, the 36mm flat wrench that used to come in the HD tool kits work well with a rag wrapped around the fork cap to 1) prevent marring and 2) take up the slack as it is not a 36mm cap. I've done it many times without the socket.
Id like to suggest dawg's mix on fork oil too when you replace it. The mix is 50/50 SE and type "E" oil. It keeps a good ride and stops the nose dive when grabbing the front brakes.

Plus one. Wrench in toolkit works great. Make sure that whatever you use, you cover your tank with a thick towel(s). On the ignition switch just take it out at full lock and remove the cover then just reassemble the switch hand tight. Works great and very simple.

So I don't need the special tools Harley sells to pull it apart after the **** is off? (see post #4 above)
