Do you have to remove the gas tank to install phone charger, or can you just reach down there and run wires without taking off the tank?

I don't understand what pulling the tank might have to do with this. If you are going back to the battery or an aux. fusebox under the seat, you can fish your wires down alongside the frame and then up into the cavity around the steering head. At some point you might need a stiff piece of wire about 18" to 2' long to poke through, but all this is doable without removing any body parts. Go slowly, sheath your wires in loom (plastic tubing or woven tubing) to help protect them against chafe, and zip tie them to the frame out of the way of anything that might get hot.
