Default Somewhat of a fender bib

So we are getting hammered again with snow up here and I guess it's going to be a white xmas. "Sh*t" can't wait to ride, maybe April, "sh*"again.

Anyhow I just received my new La Pera bare bones seat and love the look, seems like a quality item.

Been looking at what to do for the rear fender, I prefer a clean not busy look but did not want to have the bolts exposed on a bare fender, I don't know it just doesn't look right, it might be because of the color of the bike (lava red).

Anyhow, removed the plastic protection and grabbed the narrowest best looking leather belt in my drawer and came up with this.

I think it looks good as the "bib" does not overpower the whole backside.

I'm by no means cheap I just don't want a "heavy" look.

When 2 up riding with original seat I found somewhere someone had used a removable mouse pad as protection, I like that idea and that's my next step.

Too much free time on my hands.
