Unless you have a dealer right close, may as well get the set from American Sport Bike. There is a special allen wrench with a 45 degree angle on it that I bought, it didn't help me much. Might do just as well to cut down one of your own.
Take your time, I had to configure three or four different socket/allen combinations to reach all the bolts.

Lube the seals with something like Sil-glyde so they stay supple and slide easily. Replace bolts on clutch side with standard hex head for easy access if they have not already been done. Seals are a standard sportster item so and dealer will have them.

"There is a special allen wrench with a 45 degree angle.."

Its the allen wrench which is supplied with most garbage disposal units.

i just cut most of the allen wrench off. you can take a normal allen wrench and cut all but 3/8" off of the short side.
it takes a bit of patience that way but it works just fine...
i just had to take head the and manifold off to get busted exhaust stud out so i have recent experience...
its so easy... dont fret it.
