I need help (rear fender removal)

[Gogreengo30]

 

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!

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.
