2009 & Later - Gas Tank Removal - Step by Step - Pics
After searching and not finding exactly what I was looking for I posted earlier today asking about removing the gas tank. I needed to run a USB Accessory cable from under the seat to the front of the tank.
Below are my step by step instructions on how I completed this task.
After removing the seat remove this middle bolt with is securing the dash.
Remove the allen screw on the front side of the dash too.
Before lifting the dash from the tank unplug this harness from top of the tank.
Safely place the dash aside. I did not unplug any harness that went from the dash to the ECM.
Tank at this stage.
Release this quick disconnect fuel line.
Unplug this harness from under the tank found on the left side.
Remove rear tank bolts.
After removing the rubber caps, remove the front tank bolts.
Lift the tank and safely set it aside.
The wire channel is now exposed and I easily ran my wires.
That's it!

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.

I ran my cable under the tank console along with the vent hoses. I stow the end of the cable behind the wire harness at the neck.
You could argue that it's not as clean, but it sure isn't that bad either.
