Looks pretty cool. I think the red accents could tie in nicely. Definitely adds a different balance to the bike. I could go either way.

Thanks, I appreciate any feedback. Don't want to jump down a rabbit hole.

Here is a crude paint mock of the right side. Of course it would be the colonial red. Maybe even some red accents in the vented area.

Well, here goes nothing. I have a set of spare wide fenders from my fat Michael Blast Greaser bike, so the fit the tries we'll. First serious mockup fits well. Meshes well with the chainguard and the frame.

What fo y'all think of the flow?

I like that the flare of the fender matches the flare of the seat pan as well.

That actually looks pretty cool. If those skirts were rough I’d be tempted to drill speed holes in them to play with the land speed hot rod theme. But they’re too nice. Maybe some bare metal accents?

That might be too much white. I could paint them where the only white was the vent scoop area is white.

Or the vent area and the stripe

Found a fender and it turns out to be the original fender to the bike.

I like the red w/ white accent, stripe, and integrated red fender.

And, I wouldn't go overboard with the faux-tina treatment. Just try to get all the tins to look similar to the tank. It's a lot less 'ratty' than the frame surface.

Keep natural patina on rear fender. Maybe just tone down the colors on the skirts without the mustard treatment. Vinegar / water mix to dull the new red a bit.

Using that original fender is perfect. Going look great and even out the balance of the bike, front to back.
