Yep, just that easy. The steps are on my website from the installation pulldown menu. I have heard of some folks not removing the tank, to me it's easier, and safer to do so.

Earplugs are easier to install.

A Harley is "quiet as a church mouse" to "sounds like wrenches in the dryer" depending on who's telling it. Save yourself some time, money and aggravation; get used to the fact that HD engines are noisy. Ride that thing.

You can Paypal me the money
