Due to the misfortunes in this post http://forum.svrider.com/index.php?topic=53095.0 I now have to replce the throttle side clipon. I have no idea how and my book isn't very clear. From the looks of it I only have to remove the nuts/caps (indicated in red) and loosen the hex nuts (indicated in blue) and I should be able to lift the steering stem off. I noticed the the clipon does have a bolt connecting it to the steering stem, but other than that am I in for any suprises? Nothing is going to pop out/up on me is there. Do I have to support or remove the weight from the front of the bike?

remove the stem nut
loosen the pinch bolts on both sides of the upper triple clamp
loosen the pinch bolts on each clip-on
remove the bolt that goes vertically through each clip-on and into the triple clamp

You'll need a rubber mallet or a block of wood to drift the triple clamp off the stem/fork tubes.

Thanks, but what about the two outside nuts (in red). Do I have to loosen/remove those?

you don't have to remove them, they hold the fork springs in.
