QC...Once you trace the wire directly under the gas tank it attaches in the clam shell loop with a connector to another wire that I imagine goes into the electrical system. So I want to get say the Willie G Skull too...and I figure it comes with a connector as well.
So you answered my one question which was how do you get it out of the clam shell loop and then my other question was it is just a quick connector that connects the wires together..
Directly under the tank is a plastic wire connector it does simply unplug but in order to get gauge out of tank the two wires have to go up through a tiny tube and the plastic connector will not fit through it. You will have to remove the wires from the connector first.

I don't know year by year, but I'm pretty sure that there is a connector... but the type of connection may change. On mine, you use a small screwdriver to push on a 'trigger' on the top of the connector. You will probably also have to separate a wire loom support that is connected to the top frame tube. You can pull the tank up enough to put a 2x4 under the rear of the tank and work on the connector and loom tab without removing the tank. You may find it challenging, nonetheless.
