[I need help (rear fender removal)]

There are indeed bolts under those side covers, one on either side. you will need to remove the metal side covers and the plastics because of overlap. don't forget to disconnect your tail light.

 

Thanks for the help. I just wasnt quite sure because i was unscrewing those small flat heads but i felt like i was unscrewing for hours. Ill give it another shot tonight!

I am stripping my bike to get it painted. I am working on getting the rear fender off right now. I cant figure out what is holding it on there. I removed the two bolts from the seat. In the manual it looks like there are screws underneath the side covers? Thanks in advance for any help on this!
