Default Slim front fender help needed

we are putting the slim back together after several upgrades. i'm usually pretty good about orientation when removing parts, but i got backwards on this one.

for those of you with a slim, could you please go look at your front fender and tell me if the end that has a lip underneath on it goes toward the front or rear of the bike. it fits both ways.

thank you - tin

(i guessed rear, but am not second guessing.)

..the rolled lip faces the front...

If it were at the rear it would catch and hold debris and water.
It's probably only there because it will deflect road debris (and paint chipping) better that a raw edge.

Thanks jam. That was my first instinct. Should have stuck with it.

Thanks for checking.
