Do yourself a favor if and while it's up on the front stand, throw a jack under the engine block and jack the block up to take pressure off the cushion lever and so the swingarm can move freely... not such an issue taking the bolts out but it will help a TON when you're putting stuff back together.

I think I invented several swear words until I figured that little trick out.

As for the front forks, there should be just about 1/4 of an inch sticking out of the top triple clamp (maybe a little less).
