Frank, removing the tank takes almost no time, the fuel line is a quick connect.
If the bike has been sitting over night, they will be no pressure in the line, so you will get maybe 1 drop of gas
pick a nice soft place to set it down, an emptier tank weighs less, so that makes easier.
don't let the prospect of removing the tank keep you from doing something good for your bike
OP, looks great- hope the dB's are able to project past that cover.
Horns usually need to have a mount with some flex to it- a solid mount seems to not works as well....i wonder how that works
I have a couple of radio shack piezos in that location ( at present) food for thought

there was a thread over in the Dyna section about "freeing the JUGS". i did it with my old street bob and i really liked the look after the mod. i installed the horn on the front of the frame, hidden away. i have been contemplating doing the same with the Classic as well.

if you're referring to the horn relocation.... the plug on the horn should have just 2 wires. on my old street bob I just made a pig tail harnes to extend up to where i located the horn.
I think i used 14ga wire (maybe 16ga) for the pig tail on my bob. made it about 12" worth. tucked the original harness back up under the tank and hid the pig tail to where you could barely see it.
it should be similar on the touring. i'm sure i'll find out here shortly! i put that on my need to do list!
