Answer
Hi Billy.
 This is not really difficult to do.  Here it is.

1)  Place chocks under the engine to keep the front end up.  If you can raise it up a little, more for the better.

2)  Remove the front wheel.

3)  Remove the brake calipers from the forks.

4)  loosen the tightening bolts for the forks at the triple-tree, both upper and lower.

5)  Slip the forks out.  It may require a small amount of twisting to help them slip out.

That's it, really.  Like I said, it's not difficult.

Good luck.
