Default 2008 SG SE/AC installation help

I have an SE/AC I want to install. The instructions say remove the fuel tank to have access to the induction bracket. Anyone attempt this install and not remove the fuel tank? Any info will help.

Thanks,

m.a.c.

If I remember correctly I just lifted the tank up a few inches and put a small piece of 2x4 wrapped in a rag between the frame and tank near the steering neck. That gave me enough room to do the install.

I did not loosen tank at all.&nbsp\\; Used small allen wrench to get to the two allen screws on top of the&nbsp\\;stock back plate.
