How to change forks on 1995 road king @
SOURCE: Oil change directions, 2003 Road King
The drain plug is on the left side of the oil reservoir pointing towards the front of the bike. The motor should be warm when you dump the oil and the o-ring should be replaced as an extra precaution (don't want to waste that new oil if you have a drip). When replacing the oil filter use a piece of tin foil to divert the oil to your waste pan.
SOURCE: What are the torque specifications for fork caps
Not sure which "fork caps" you're talking about. In mechanics, so many people call different things by different names it's sometimes difficult to figure out what they are talking about.
Anyway, if you're talking about the large fork caps that at the upper triple tree, there is not specific torque, just snug. I wouldn't overtighten them due to there very thin profile and rounded corners on some.
If you're talking about the cap that screws directly into the upper fork tube, there again, no specific torque, just snug. If you tighten either of these caps too tightly, you could encounter problems with removal in the future.
If you are talking about the fork cap at the axle, the nuts torque to 12-15 foot pounds.

The filters should be the same.
Make sure you have a new o-ring for the oil plug.
Make sure you properly ID the oil plug, there are two under there, one is oil, other is trans.
Don't overfill oil.
Don't over-tighten oil plug on re-installation, the aluminum threads are notorious for pulling out. Oil ring does the seal, snugly tight, don't put all you have into it.

Base gaskets leaks, rocker box gasket leaks. Final drive belt wear Final drive belt sprocket wear Loose/worn steering head bearings Check spokes if wheels have them Check under seat for damage to frame/surrounding area from leaky battery Check all turn signals/horn/brake lights, high/low beam, tires Test drive bike Check VIN for modification Check VIN with local police to make sure not stolen Make sure title is clear and transferable

the oil tank is on the bottom of the transmission in your RK. There are two drain plugs. The plug towards the front left of the pan is the oil drain plug. The other one is for the transmission.
Drain the oil, replace the filter, refill with three quarts of oil and you're ready to go. The dipstick has two marks on it. The upper mark is "FULL HOT", and the lower mark is "FULL COLD". Do not overfill.
Don't forget to service the transmission and the primary at their recommended intervals.
Good Luck
