Yeh that little bracket on the frame is a git. If you can manipulate the bottle so it bends/breaks the little nodule that slots in the side of the frame (opposite side to the bracket) you may be able to manipulate the complete bottle out. But you are making life difficult for yourself when it only takes 10mins to remove the airbox and carbs. You will spend longer than that trying to manipulate the bottle out.
