tank removal ?

Hey, I'd like to remove the tank on my 2014 Sportster Custom and was wondering just how to go about it. I see the bolts that look easy to get at but what about the gas line ? Being fuel injected there's no off and on ball valve.
Just wondering ????

The fuel petcock is a quick connect fitting. Pull/push up on the metal petcock and pull out the fuel line. You wont loose any fuel popping the line off. It has a stopper on it.

Beside the front and rear bolts and the fuel line mentioned above, you just need to disconnect the electrical wire...there are wires next to the fuel line. Follow those wires to the front of the battery cover where you will see the harness to disconnect.

Here is a thread on the same topic.

the only part I found hard was removing the cover in front of the batter cover. It was just a fiddly job but tank removal is not hard.
