On my 883C I removed the turn signals that were bolted onto the struts, then four (two on each side) nuts/bots on either side of the fender, then there was one bolt right underneath where the seat is right in the middle of the fender. Once those bolts were loose the fender was loose and I just lifted it straight up and out.

it's different on the iron. those bolts on the side of the frame don't look like they go into the fender.

Some advice, get the service manual, it'll save you a lot of headaches in the future. It has an expanded view of the fender that makes it easy to see all the fasteners.
