Hi guys. I'm trying to install clip-ons on my 2005 Ducati Monster 620, and I am stuck at removing the top triple clamp. I have the 2 fork nuts out but the center nut (near the ignition assembly) has only been loosened. I can't get it out all the way without removing the ignition assembly, which I don't know how to do. I think since it is completely loosened, the triple clamp should come off. But it won't budge when I smack it with my mallet. What is keeping my triple clamp stuck on the forks?

Here's a photo showing the center nut near the ignition assembly loosened but not removed:





Thanks again for the help.

Have you removed all the stuff in front of the forks / triple clamps?
The top triple can also stick a little on the pins and plastic bushings extending down into the "U" bracket holding the headlight.
Other than that I can´t see why it should not come loose.   
Monster 900-2002 (sold, alive and well in the UK), 749R / 1100 HYM combo for track days, wifes / my Monster Dark 800-2003 (not entirely "Dark" anymore and a personal favourite) , 50% of 900SSie -2000 track bike for rainy days-now with tuned ST2 motor and Microtec ECU. Also parked due to having been T-boned on track.
