Lost a nut behind the gas tank, anyone have any ideas of how to retrieve it or a DIY on removing the gas tank. Thanks

I have a 2 stiff extension magnets but the one in the middle looks flexible so I'll have to look into that one, it'd be great if I didn't have to take out the gas tank. I haven't found any threads with people that have taken out the gas tank.

Have you tried taking out the upper back seat to gain access through the service panel underneath??

yeah, they usually are goo'ed down pretty well unless someone has gotten there before you. You just have to work at prying it off without distorting/destroying the cover panel.
