First remove the 4 screws from the outside of the fuel cap. Begin to loosen the nut on the right side. Open up the cover for the area that holds the jack and reach the backside of the cap. There is a protective metal plate on the left side. When you loosen the nut all the way this will fall off. Loosen to the point you can take off this plate and then remove the nut.
Remove the cover over the filler neck after you have removed the 4 screws and nut.
Take off the protective cover on the inside of the rear fender well.
Cut the filler tube. I made the cut just inside the drivers side frame rail. I did not remove the tube from the tank. I left it in place and it created no issues.

You could have someone roll the end of it giving you a lip too and it'll be even more close to the OEM one.

Remove the old Neck.
Place the dual filler in the cavity, it will take some work to get it in there.
Utilize the bolt shown in Georges write-up, do not fully tighten.
Take the black cover removed from the old neck and turn it over. You will see a circle where you will need to drill to run the knob through (I made it big enough to hold a grommet).
Take the knob of the filler neck and fit the cap over it. Re-install the knob. Reinstall the lock mechanism (Bolt on right side) and remember to put the protective plate from the inside back on. Reinstall the 4 screws.
Tighten the bolt holding the filler neck on.
Now Install the hoses for the main tank using clamps to tighten down.
Install the sub tank and connect these hoses using clamps as well
Note: I connected the hose and connector to the tank as I was installing it as accessibility to these points later on is questionable. Make sure the are routed the way you want as the tank is put in place and bolted in.
