Tank removal

When removing the tank what bodywork needs to come off? Obviously the carbon tank infill panels, but the Triumph manual suggests the "body side panels" which looks to be the tail section? I'm guessing you just need access to the hoses and wiring for disconnect/reconnect. Can someone please give me a quick rundown?

PS - I've decided I probably better pickup a Haynes manual too for the shop. The Triumph manual I have now is only in PDF format and it's a pain to reference information.

Thanks!

Thanks. Yea I read through that section before I posted. That's what got me confused as to why I would need to remove the tail section? Unless I'm reading it wrong. Don't mean to make it harder than it is, I like to follow things to the letter and sometimes to my detriment.

All you need to remove are both saddles, the CF trim panels under the tank and then the tank using the above info. It really is easier than it reads. One tip is to have as little fuel as possible in the tank to make manipulating it easier. Another tip is to keep track of which hose goes where on the LHS of the tank.
