I am changing out the frame, and i need to remove the front end (forks, triple trees, anything that connects to the frame). What is the best way to remove the front end? I know i need to pull the handlebars so i can get to the bolt that hooks the triple trees together.

Should just be able to:

- Support the engine/frame
- remove the nut that holds the trees to the frame
- undo the pinch bolts that hold the upper tree to the forks themselves
- remove the bars and cables/lines
- remove the upper tree
- slide the lower tree, with the forks attached, out the bottom of the frame. If they're stuck, a *tap* with a rubber mallet should pop it loose from the neck bearings.
