Alomst everything forward of the bars is being replaced. Had an accident recently and I'm just rebuilding the bike. The forks had twisted in the yokes so I needed to get my socket set & torque wrench into the pinch bolt on the top yoke.
Since the seal between master cylinder and reservoir was already broken, I decided just to remove the whole assembly and get it out of the way to give myself space to work. In hindsight given Sid's comment about the fluid in the master cylinder perhaps I should have just left it in place and rotated it round the bar a bit.
