Answer
You can get a book on your bike from any dealer that sells V-Twin products. They still have repair manuals for your bike.
As to the forks. Remove the wheel and fender. Drain the fork oil. Remove the top nut and the pinch bolts and slide the fork out of the triple trees. Looking at the underside of the fork you will see an allen head bolt. It is metric. Remove it and the bottom of the fork will slide out of the sliders.
Removing the rear rocker box is a bear. I cant remember on that model, but I think there is a hole in the frame so you can get to the one bolt and the front mount,look to see if its on a rubber mount, has to be removed to let the motor drop down. I use a allen wrench that I have shortened to get to it then I use pliers to turn it. Its a close fit but it can be done.
Good luck and happy riding
