Some please help me figure this out
How would I remove the rear fender on a 2001 Yamaha vstar 1100 classic? The hardware for the saddle bags infront appears to have no way at all the access the screw that goes through into the frame. Second image is what is on the other side of the circled part, it isn’t a nut it’s a screw confused on how exactly I would remove it since it’s covered in metal. Thanks
