Picked up the parts on the way home from work. Changed the oil and put it on the lift...will pull the forks tomorrow!
See you on Sunday Sandy

Make sure you are well tied down to the lift before you remove the forks and wheel. I removed the forks on my interstate while on a lift and the bike tipped off the back of the lift because it changed the center of balance.

I was going to suggest the same but there isn't much weight on the back of that one

Amen to that!
Always strap your bike down.

Put some blocks under the rear wheel, or Jack stands are even better. I never leave my bikes on a lift.

That's what I do when removing a wheel. A stack of boards/books at the opposite end under the tire so there isn't any movement when removing the wheel.
