A vid or anything?
Thanks!

Shouldn't be too much trouble.  I plan on it tonight, need to install the Rapid bike module.

If you have help from a friend that can hold the tank back it's easy. Then you dont need to remove the fuel lines.

I was thinking of going that route or using a ratchet strap to hold it up since I have eye bolts in the garage ceiling.

That will work great. Remove all fairings, it's hard to run the wires from the storage area when the side fairings are on. The air box can be little tricky to remove.
Installing the module should take 40-60 min.

It helps a bunch if there's just a little gas in the tank. Either run it down or pump it out.
I only removed one tank from a FI bike so I don't know if all the fittings are the same. But the one I did has clips you have to depress to remove the hose. If it is the same, (most likely) be careful to hold the clip fully pressed when removing or replacing the hose or you'll damage the o-ring (like I did).

and this one time at band camp 

whoops 

make sure the clips are snapped in solid when putting it back together as well. I had one come apart on me while on a ride blowing gas every where, it had stayed together for 100 miles are so before it blew apart.
