I did just the same thing the other night, followed one of the posts in this forum, took apart the tail light, pulled out the light bulbs, and then with a pair of needle nose pliars took the socket and twisted it out then pushed it inside the bike, then with the seat off and with that little plate that hooks the tail piece together together off I took out the tank prop and inserted it into the now vacant bulb socket and within (literally) 2 minutes had the hump popped off, it took a minute or 2 for me to figure out how the bulbs came off but other than that the whole process took me about 20 minutes with no damage save finger prints all over the inside of my tail lens.
