Default Need some advice on getting the upper triple off..

Hey guys, I've gotten to this point but the triple is stuck on pretty tight. Am I missing any other bolts or screws to take off? All bolts associated with clip on's are off as you can see by the pic. The middle nut is off as well. It's just wedged on pretty tight. I don't know if I'm missing some other bolts, or just need to use brute force. Thanks

If you got the pinch forks for the bolts off, then it is just stuck. I used a piece of wood and hammer on the underside. Just whack on both sides of the steering head so it comes staight off. I threaded the middle nut on a few turns to keep the triple from flying off.

Oh, and it helps if the front end is off the ground already.

I pull on the upper while hitting it with a rubber mallet. Don't forget to unbolt the ignition switch from under The top triple as well. Be careful to make the triple come off straight so u don't damage the threads on the stem.
