Default Harley Ventilator Air Cleaner

I was thinking about putting this on my 15 Street Glide Special. I looked up the installation instructions. Do you really have to remove the gas tank to install this? Thanks.

No, but you have to have some good finger dexterity to remove a bracket.

You can just take the bolts out of the tank and lift it up a little to get the bracket bolts out. I tried without and could not, but I have some stubby sausage fingers.
