Motorcycle Repair: 2004 Sportster Lower Fork Bracket Replacement, fork tubes, triple trees

Question
I have a 2004 Sportster with a broken fork stop on the lower fork bracket.  I have a HD service manual for perusal.  However, I would like instructions from experienced mechanic to avoid unnecessary disassembly.

Answer
First, you will need a way to hold the bike upright while you remove the front end.
remove the following: Wheel, fender, fork tubes, headlight assembly, handlebars, risers, and anything else attached to the triple trees and forks. remove the top nut to the triple trees and the lower triple tree will slide out from the neck. Install the new lower and put it all back together and your good to go.
Happy holidays
