I did indeed get the forks off E-Bay - mine had zero miles off a brand new bike so I paid a few extra $$$ for them - similarly the brakes were also brand new - the pads weren't even scuffed in!
The install is not at all difficult once you have the custom parts! I took quite a bit longer because I had to take it all apart to get all the measurements to design the parts.
But you could do this in a day easily if you prepared properly by having everything ready to go.
You need to be able to get the front end off the ground to remove the triple tree - see below for how I achieved that (made a stand which supported the front weight of bike on the sliders)
I have a PitBull 'newfront' stand which lifts the front end of bike from under the bottom yoke; however that only gets you as far as wheel & forks removal - but then that allowed adequate space to get the wooden stand in to support the weight from the frame sliders & allow the triple clamp set to be removed.
