Fair enough, it would be a lot easier if it up on a 2 post / 4 post ramp. I believe it is just the bolts that secure it and the clamp that holds the filler hose to the tank and it should have enough room to be lowered. You may have to lift the back seat and check the wiring isn't tight. I've not removed the tank myself but I saw the tank removed when I had the brake pipes done on my typhoon. Tank strap on that had been on there for around 160K and had been sat in a garden for a couple years and it didn't break and came off.
