03 Superglide tank removal ?
How are you guys removing the gas tank with the hose at the front between the halves of the tank ? I was going to cut the 'clip' off and use a different clip when re-assembly time comes. Just wondered if there was another way...b.

I just got one of these for this application:

Someone here was kind enough to point out that you can get them for a little bit less direct from the manufacturer (cggorman, I think), but I couldn't find the link right now...
I think this will eliminate the need to drain the tank for removal.

Hose clamps. Don't be a monkey tightening and crush the tubing.
You can buy the pliers and bands as well if you prefer the factory style.
In a ah carp moment piece of thin wire,bailing wire looped around and twisted tight with pliers .
If hose feels as it glued on,just buy some more hose,cut it and get the tank off then split the hose off the tubing nipples. Might save a headache in long run.

Actually knew that, just couldn't think how to write my question describing the hose without 'halves'...b.
