Default Changing Bars on Fatboy Lo???? HELP!!!

I have a 2010 fatboy lo which im putting 12.5 inch apes on and was wondering if anyone knew of a good tutorial/Video for replacing the bars (start to finish). Im mechanically inclined but just want to know if i am doing it right. So far I've seen that you have to remove the tank, is this true?


Any help with this is much appreciated, there may be a thread of this already but i cant seem to find it.

You do not have to remove the tank, after removing the bolts and fuel line you'll be able to lift the front of the tank and gain access to the wiring harness. The above link Hoggy post is a decent walk through but there are several more in here.
