Whats the sleekest yet still rain-grit functional front fender available for a special?
I bought a Al front fender but seems too bulky for Peels profile, unused so far.
I think I like the broader curved fender like on swoosher's yellow version.
There another I've seen that seem narrower and with cut outs on the mount area.
I must still hang a mud flap off the end and run skid plate or front area get sand blasted abraded. Any half way spoiled spares around I'm handy with epoxy and rattle cans.
 
RGM ( http://www.rgmmotors.co.uk/main.htm ) has this one

Sexy compostite front fender please


That is the one I have on my café racer and it is made for 7" yokes. On my bike I have two torque arms which reduces the width of the 7 3/8" more modern yokes to the right size for that fender. I don't think it would look good with a rubber flap hung on the bottom. Maybe it would be better for you to make one from scratch, that is what I plan to do on my next project, not for fun, but because I don't think I will find any fenders (mudguards) for the wheels I will use.

OK RGM is source I didn't know of. Glass from the Past and Clubman Racing may have similar. Jean I may have you fab up two as I'm not up too speed on forming a nice symmetrical fender I'm afraid. I may have to revert to more utilitarian fender to preserve finish of all black coated engine. Peel's will have full fairing+lowers that are classy bulbous curvy to would like front to match. I don't like the angular or the bird beak styles I've seen and have on hand but also rejected.

I have unopened Al rear fender but found it intrudes on oil filter and air station so will have to use sheet Al to protect the sling off back there. Plan is to hold part of plates on by magnets to can un clip and look cool w/o any fenders in nice conditions after leaving THE G or course.
 
Appreciate the pointing out options. That CNW is not long enough for my needs.
Don't really want carbon fiber or even Ti actually as big part of Ms Peel's purpose is to rub sports bikes noses in obsolete design and materials spanking them up to I don't know how fast yet. Other more important purpose it daily practical commuter.
Except for deer and major internal let downs no fault of my own I was living on a Commando as long as not iced over. Storms after dark were just delicious until water puddles in saddle. I so want that again both in plain factory version and a roll my own special. With the rod links I have no worry about corner speed, just how brave I am to face blind w/o much reserve to stop or avoid stuff in my lane.

Peel RGM fork brace leaves fender mount clearance as stock.
