You have probably worked it out by now but getting the gas tank off these bikes is the easiest thing.  Lift the seat.  Pull a rubber boot back off the rear of the tank, pull the tank back to get it off the rubber forward mounts and that's it.  If I'm not removing the tank completely, at this point I usually place a piece of timber under the gas tank tunnel and rest it on the handle bars.  That secures the tank fairly safely and gives me enough room to do whatever I want to do.  If you want to remove the tank completely, you just need to disconnect the gas pipe from the petcock.
