Removing Tank on '09 Speedy

About to embark on my most adventerous project to date on my Speedy, installing new horns with wiring back to battery and relay. To do this, I need to remove the tank. Any tips for doing this, other than do it when tank empty?

Pictures would be great

A computer word is 16 bits. 2 bits = 1 quarter (25c). 1 bit is 12.5c. A word is worth $2, therefore a picture is worth $2,000. Eugene Volokh

Detailed tank removal instructions from an EFI bonneville.

On the speedmaster the process is virtually the same, starting with unscrewing the console and putting it to the side.

Good luck!

Beautiful - thanks for that. Not sure I have the patience to photodocument the process - or the skill for that matter
