There is always the insert in the bar end which will be hidden by the grips trick....

I have a pair of skirts. They are just sitting on my porch doing nothing.

Don't know what I'm doing, gonna do it anyway.
I say ship em,tail fins look good.... but then again it
Awesome work on those skirts King!
I don't know how you could accomplish it, but a loop of tube following the curve down and around the back of the tire would be super cool...

I really am not planning too, but I promise to mock it up to get a better visual of the idea rather than the one tight photo I have in the shop.

Cool idea Luke. Actually the fender tabs for the skirts are just bent over and are still behind the skirts. These could be used to attach something on the interior of the skirts along the fender curve edge. It could be extended and then looped around the back of the tire. Maybe that could even be exhaust pipes.
So, do the wings flap at all? Not trying to be funny, just curious how stiff they are mounted in this configuration. Maybe you could just do the loop part of Luke's suggestion and maybe tie it into a rear streetsweeper fender, that would scream old Earl design. Just sayin', it's been over 100 here with the heat index too and I may just be dehydrated, so.......[emoji12]

I forgot to post pics of the mockup of the Shelby chainguard.
I like it, but I also love how open the frame looks in the pics from the ride.

Hmmmmmm, that might be VERY cool as well Tank. You gotta love the buildoff and the collective creative ideas that come out of it. Maybe a sweeper fender that only runs from the seat stays to the rear skirt wraparound?

They are mounted pretty well, but if tap them the do sorta vibrate. I forgot to check them while riding. I imagine that they would be vibrating like a tuning fork while riding. I'll have to take a video while riding and see. Part of why I left the fender tabs available was in case I needed any bracing.
I don't have the comp skills to do it, but what if you take away the "front edge" of Luke's tubing and just have a loop of tubing coming off of the rear dropout in a low loop like he has pictured? That should keep your skirt from lifting up in the breeze (couldn't resistAwesome work on those skirts King!

) and it swoops nicely with the curve of the seat stay.
Just had a thought if I go the double skirt route. I still have the tank that goes along with my hood scoop. What if I separated the two halves and used each half between the upper and lower skirts? The trailing point should extend about 6" beyond the joint with the skirts, but about even with the trailing points of the skirts.
That's what I was thinking too. Maybe, depending on how close it is the end of the fender, an existing fender brace could attach to the wings. Hope that makes sense.....
