Usually there are two straps underneath the tank with bolts holding the straps to the frame. Unhook the gas line and the gas filler as well as the fuel sender first.

There are three mounts. One at each rear corner and one centered in front at the seam line. Take your fuel filler tube and vent tube loose on the right side of the tank first, then the mounts. Once loose, pull the drivers side of the tank down first, thven feed it out from between the frame until you can disconnect the ground and hot wires. You are pretty much done from here.
