If it is planed to remove the tank right after riding, this may be true. If you remove the tank from the bike first thing after sitting over night, (and not turning the switch on) the pressure will not be present.
And to not have the pump turn on, just don't turn the switch on.
I didn't remove the fuses because I didn't want to go through the exercise of resetting the alarm or other electronic stuff the manual states is needed. (Or take any chance I would need to do so). I just made sure not to turn the bike on.

You don't have to remove the console either. I just ran power wire from an amp under the tank the other day. 2 bolts in front of the tank, 2 bolts behind, quick disconnect and lift it up. Couldn't believe how easy it was.
I did pull the fuse and run it for the few seconds it took to die however. Just got done riding it after picking up the amp.
On that note, I did notice I'm missing one of the front rubber/plastic bolt/tank ear covers that are in front of the tank.
Edit - Forgot about the 2 drip hoses and a connector. Still took all of 5 minutes to take it off.

When Harley went to the 6 gallon tank, they eliminated the cross over on the front of the tank. On the 5 Gallon models, you still have the cross over tube to deal with when removing the tank on the Pre '08 models.
On the 6 Gallon tanks for Ultra Glide and Ultra Road Glide models, the process is much the same. Just have one more plug for the head set in the dash (if you have the Ultra). There is not any difference in fuel tanks between the ABS equipped bikes and Non-ABS models.
You are not required to drain the tank, but I ran the fuel down so the tank didn't weigh too much.
