Posts: 344 Gibsonton in South Florida Gender:	Rear fender removal 07/09/07 at 15:06:12 I need to remove the rear fender to get to some otherwise unreachable areas. Can anyone tell me how? I misplaced my service manual, it's somewhere in a box in the garage ... I did do a search on here, no luck. Thanks in advance Ike

Take the seat and the pillion off and unbolt all the electrics from the fender. Take the tire off and take it completely out of the wheel well. Remove the 4 bolts from inside the wheel well in addition to taking off everything that attaches to the fender itself.

Lots & lots of work to remove the fender -- just about a total teardown of the back side of the bike.

What are you getting to up there? I may chop the fender or replace it altogether, depends on how much is involved. Just want to do something different to this one Thanks to all of you Ike

IIRC, to remove my rear fender I just propped the sidestand up on a brick and used a big floor jack to take some weight off the rear tire and make space for my skinny arm to slide in with a wrench. Took about 20 minutes after jacking it up, but I didn't have to remove a belt and wheel and rear brake and....you get the point.

Once you make that wheel well a bit bigger, you sorta figure out how to get a hand in there.

Also, I used a u-joint and about 14 inches of extensions to loosen the bottom bolts, I believe.

Wish I had taken pix of how I did it, but I was busy sweating and drinking beer.
