First, posting pics is really simple, but you have to first upload your pics to a 3rd party website such as bikepics or photobucket and then follow the following step by step directions:

Now, for removing the forks I'm sure there are others that have completely removed them, but I have only slid them down in the triple trees so that I could put the signal mounts back on. If I recall, I just had to loosen some bolts and take the top cap nuts off to get them to slide down. I'm sure if you are removing them completely you will have to disconnect your brake caliper and other things.
Good luck, and we love it when members post pics of their bike. Here's mine
when I bought it:
