Not that bad of a job. I installed my gaiters by removing the front wheel and doing each fork leg at a time, but there are others who have just pulled the whole front end off, wheel and all.
Make sure you strap the bike to the motorcycle/atv jack before starting the job. If you don't, once the front end is off the bike will want to tip over backwards.
With the front wheel left on, you'll still have to take off the calipers and the speedo cable and remove those lines that are attached to the front fender. Loosen up the top and lower fork tree bolts, and take off the bolts that holds the top shrouds to the top tree.
Squirt some WD40 or some other kind of lube around and inside the shrouds so they'll be easier to pull off. Once you get the top shrouds off the front end will slide out and you can tackle the bottom shrouds. Install the gaiters, put the forks back in, and re-install everything.
