I got top top yoke off the triple tree. Doesn't sound like mutch until you learn the british bike design moto... "Why use only 2 pieces when you can do the same thing with 10 ?"
Seriously....  Steering damper knob and through-bolt, it's sleeve nut, friction disc and star spring washer, Pinch bolt, fork tube caps, washers and cable guides, top nut onto a sleeve that is male and female threads onto the pivot shaft and in the yoke. All to find the tube tops are tapered and press fit into the yoke, took several whacks with the deadblow hammer to get the yoke finally free.

The front forks need help, not only are the tubes rusted and pimered (!) but when on the center stand the left extends about a 1/2" further than the right, cocking the wheel to an angle. Although nothing seems bent or loose, something is definately wonky there.

Ahhhh good times ahead!
