Nah, I've just been lurking ha. My conversion took a backseat for a couple more weeks. I am currently getting it ready to replace the trans. Second gear went. I'll be painting the frame and shortening wires and what not while its out. Also had to order a new dog bone, mainly for the bolts lol. Anyway, as far as the fairings, I'm working on a surprise, dont wanna say too much, trying to swing it we will have to see how it goes though. should be a busy couple months with the riding and building going on.
Oh yea man I was thinking you meant fender, but I was gonna wait and see what mud guard was. Well I got to say it looks good and if it bolts right up and the rear you just cable tie, I might give it a shot. I was looking at 1000rr fenders but have no idea if they would bolt right up or I would make new holes. Thanks for the tip. *Goes to ebay and check price tags on r6 fenders*

looks like the old man didnt like cable ties and has drilled new holes dont know what he did for the back nut but i personally would use an epoxy resin to hold a nut onto the back after all it cant be seen
front-
back- very close up picture also remember race bike it is stripped and rebuilt quickly so things get scratched if you took the time and care it wouldn't get scratched.

I would probably, no, definitely, patch the Yam fender's rear mounting holes with fiberlass, and of course, sand and paint, and then glass in a couple of the square nuts Honda uses on the inside of the rear mounts for the fenders... like what I did on the F3 fender on the race bike:

yes if i were to have mine as a show/pride and joy i would cut the back mount hole off glass it to a shape i liked as you have but the way i ride it may get broken every time im out so no point in 3 hours work for me to break it when i lose grip at 80+mph 
that f3 one looks nice

Which trick? The part about "glassing" in a nut for the fender mounting, or the part about not crashing? 
you should know that
