Its time for me to replace the fork seals and I haven't a clue how to do it. Where to get the oil or anything? Can someone please help me out.

Use the search feature or this page.  Maybe a queary like "forks".  Also check the FAQ section on this board.  Somebody (I think Davipu) just put a bad ass how to on fork seals.  

It involves training in explosives, so be careful, for god's sake!

Check the phone book for motorcycle shops near you to purchase fork oil.
The motorcycle is no longer the hobby, the skill has become the hobby.

Power does not compare to skill.  What good is power without the skill to use it?

To release thee bottom bits of the fork, you'll need a very tall nut socket.

Apart from this, seal cames out easily and quickly...
Replacement is easy.

i would recommend buying new fork seal retainter rings and dust caps and possibly the fork cap o-rings.

If they are not leaking that bad you can add automatic transmission sealant.  It kept me going for another year on an old Yamaha.
You don't need much of it either.  If not much oil has leaked out
you will need to remove some of the oil to make room for the sealant.
