Those two big nuts on top are your suspension adjustment and don't get touched. You will need to loosen up the allen bolts on the side of clamp. they are near the clip ons. Then, there is one big nut in the center of the triple clamp, that gets loosened up to remove the top triple clamp. If your bike has a steering damper on it, you will have to remove it to get the center nut. I can't remember if 07 600's had them or not.
For warning, you will probably have to support your bikes front suspension as you do this otherwise your forks can shift and may allow your bike to tip over. I suggest taking two rachet straps, hooking them into the frame of the bike and put slight tension on the straps. In fact, I would put enough tension so the bike is not resting on the kickstand, but is vertical.
Also, if your original triple clamp was not damaged, and only the ignition was, you simply drill out the bolts for the ignition and replace them.
