You dont have to take the fender struts off.
Take the seats off
Take the two bolts through the frame under the seat out
take the four bolts out of the fender struts
raise fender up unplug wires
fender comes out straight up.

I have no faith in human perfectability. I think that human exertion will have no appreciable effect upon humanity. Man is now only more active - not more happy - nor more wise, than he was 6000 years ago. Edgar Allan Poe
