RE: Tank Removal
You can not reuse the clamps at the crossover. This may be a good time to replace the plain black crossover hose with a braided stainless steel line and new hose clamps. No Big Deal.

Be sure to remove the fuel line from the petcock that Boardgaurd described. I did not on my 07 and the cheap plastic broke in it and.....$48 later I had to buy a new one. You can not really take the fuel line off per say w/o clamping the front fuel line (at least on an 07 Heritage).
It really does only take a few minutes.

RE: Tank Removal
You can get one of these by e-mailing galvatron10@insightbb.com, his name is Troy and they are $37.00 shipped. Quality piece. When disconnected, it will not allow fuel to spill from the tank. Makes future tank removals a piece of cake.

RE: Tank Removal
I put the quick disconnect on as described earlier. The next time I removed the tank it sure made it easy and no mess or danger on gas spilling.
