;Tools
* 2.5mm, 3mm, 4mm Allen keys.
* Low clearance (under 20mm) 3mm Allen key.

;Steps
# [[Seat Removal|Remove the seat]].
# [[Y-Shaped Underseat Frame Removal|Remove the underseat Y-shaped frame piece]].
# Detach the MBB by removing the two bolts holding it to the plate with a low-clearance 3mm Allen key.
#* The right side bolt will be extremely difficult to manipulate given the cables routed very close to it; consider displacing them.
# Push the MBB aside to the left without unplugging its connectors.
# Remove the two bolts attaching the upper left and right corners, facing 45 degrees up/forward, with a 2.5mm(?) Allen key.
# Remove the two bolts attaching the lower left and right corners.
#* Reach them from below the frame arms on each side of the bike, just forward of the stanchions.
#* Use a 2.5mm(?) Allen key (preferably a ratcheting socket).

# Snip the cable run zip tie on the lower left corner of the plate.
# Snip the cable run zip tie on the lower edge of the plate from the right side.
#* A long, narrow-bladed screwdriver can be suitable.
# Detach the [[Gen2/Accessory Charging Port|Accessory Charging Port]] from the lower flange of the plate using a 2.5mm(?) Allen key on the two narrow bolts through the plug's body holes.
# Along the lower rear-facing edge bracket flange, push the cross-frame cable run off of the bracket.

# Pull the top edge of the plate to the rear of the bike so that the top mounting flange's corners clear the mating flanges on the frame.
# ''Gently'' pull the plate by the DC-DC converter up and aft, minding any cabling that can get snagged on the plate to avoid straining any wires.
#* It seems easiest to pull the left side of the plate up first, to avoid clearance issues around the hydraulic lines running along the right side towards the rear brake system.

;Installation
* (Still working on this; essentially reversing the removal but considering the various fitment dependencies ahead of time to avoid trouble).
