Fuel Injected or carb'd?
(is there a bunch of stuff inside or just a petcock?)
Get the tank off the bike, get it outside, drain as much gas as you can, pull any crossovers and the petcock and get the rest out.
Keep hitting it with compressed air to get the fumes out.
If it is a permanent resting place, seal up the petcock and cross overs (if any). You may even want to use a coating on the inside of the tank (Kreme)
once you get him in there you'll never get all of him out, I don't know what experience you have with cremains, but they are not what you think they are.
Personally I would modify the bottom of the tank so you can put the plastic bag the remains come in into the tank and close it up. Either cut out a section and hinge it, or if it is a final resting place find some panel adhesive from a body shop and bond a panel over the hole.

My desire is to be cremated and put in a metal Folgers coffee can, just like in The Big Lebowski, one of my favorite movies. I have been unable, so far, to find a Folgers can and lid however. The thought of the massive expense of funerals, caskets, burial plots, etc. make me sick. Plus I can't stand the thought of being buried.
Unfortunately, I doubt the wife will honor my request, judging from her reaction every time I tell her about it.

To the OP...
I hope to have a good friend in life, if my wife doesn't survive me, honor my last wishes like your doing.
Good luck and ride safe.
