Default Interesting fender treatment, soft snap-on fender skirts

I saw this image and thought it was a pretty interesting thing to do. Not sure it's for me, though, but somebody here might like it.

Does anybody know who's trike this is? I found it on a Google search, but the Pinterest page it sent me to doesn't have the image.

I'm a "child-of-the-fender-skirt-era" but Id like to see this pic from a distance to get the full side view.

First thought was that is would be much better if the fasteners were concealed but that would require a more complicated system involving cables and springs.

Interesting though.

I believe that is made by the same guy who makes the polished disk also shown on the rear wheel. RJ Originals is the company name I believe

A few years ago one of our sponsors had other items for sale, but also had those skirts for sale. I can't remember who it was ! I'll keep looking.

Looks too much like fender on Indians. Would like to see one with the bottom being straight across such as those on cars back in the day. Chrome curb feelers would complete the look.

My guess is the wind would make that beat the paint between the snaps.

There has to be some kind of stiff material for a backing the rounded edges would pull away, that isn't just stretched real tight. Maybe like a nylon, fiberboard or PVC or something.

They are made out of Lexan with snaps. You could make your own and just paint and shape them as you like.
Maybe use strong Velcro to hold it on.
