1 Triple clamp removal for clip-ons? Mon Jul 24, 2017 3:37 pm

Looking to install a set of clip-on bars. Not trying to lower the front end, so would like to mount them just below the top clamp for the forks.
I've been working on cars for 20 years but this is the first motorcycle I've customized (had bikes before but outside of slip-on mufflers and stuff, haven't had forks apart, etc).
The front brake line appears to go through the middle hole in the triple clamp. I don't see away around having to disconnect it and bleed the brakes to do this. Are there any tips/tricks for this kind of replacement?
I know there are some hinged clip-on's out there that may not require this. I haven't settled on something like that yet because of price, but am open.
Thanks!
