I have an 03. I think the tank is the same but I'm not sure. I do not have a damper on it and can't immediately see a way of pulling that damper bracket off, but I have to ask; are you sure you cant pull the tank back just enough to pull it up? If you pull its hinge bolt out and keep the bars full left (or right) then apply backward pressure to the tank, I would think it would clear. Also, the bracket that is used to fasten the front of the tank to the frame (what is making contact) should flex a little which may help. If that does not work, get ahold of the installation instructions (maybe online if you don't have them) for the damper and go from there.
